Thrift Giant

A typical day at work seems about generic in the sense that you cashier, which for me was pleasant because of our interactions with the customers. Although one could be working, you are managed quite roughly because there is no empathy or loyalty with long time employees, so you receive reprimanding for anything any one else in the building was brought to attention for.  The hardest part of the job was interacting with production manager; particularly the one in Irving Blvd. as I don’t think she is aware of what professionalism looks like or is, or what it means to have teamwork without enabling a toxic work environment or without belittling staff around her. As the only fluent bilingual in the Irving Blvd. building, not including one backend in production with unrelated work as me, I’ve found my bilingual attribute has not been treated as an attribute, but as a point for management to deliberately undermine regardless of the extra duties I perform as a cashier that are unrelated to curriculum cashier duties listed in Thrift Giant policy.  I would say these are the reasons it is a very difficult company to work with. 

The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with staff and primarily, customers. In the two years I served there, truly the customers and my coworkers are what kept me on my feet. I am grateful, which is the true paradox of it all, I become stronger, but the circumstances to how that came to be are unfortunate. Also, the rules within the company are really unpleasant, as apparently we can’t buy anything in the very own company we work at unless we are off. I hope upper management reconsiders and remembers that at the end of the day, without teamwork, without workers, nor donations, there would be no Thrift Giant. Thank you!

To whom this may concern,

I had a scheduled interview and was patiently waiting for said call during agreed time frame and the Manager/Recruiter for area 75215 and individual did not reach out. Once time had passed, I reached out to said person and figured something must have happened and the response I got back is quite poor with the response of "apologies for the lack of response, we went with someone else" that's not how you value someone's time even if it was just for an interview. If you knew from the very beginning you were not going to value someone's time, then I can only imagine how they treat their fellow workers with poor respect and not value them. Would highly recommend to seek employment elsewhere since by the way I was treated, you are no more than a number and not as a valued employee.

The fact that Thrift Giant is a thrift store with competetive pay, solid benefits, and positive message behind everyone’s role in the company make it a great place for an entry level position. I felt accomplished, and i felt like i was working in the direction with a positive result on the community and myself. Providing affordable clothing, electronics, and houseware to my own community made me want to get out of bed every morning and help not just myself, but the one’s around me. Great experience, would definitely take my position back, if available.

You will have to check out customers while making announcements of the discounts of the day and what i learned was putting clothes by sizes and putting items on shelf also you have to pick up every item you see on the floor. management needs a little work you don't know you schedule till the last day of the week or you have to call the supervisor to know when you work, My co-workers are very nice.
The hardest part of the job was cleaning after the sale of the 50% off and you would work early till the store closed.

Family takes priority over employees. Raises are supposed to be every three months, but I only got one raise after five months. Terrible communication between management and employees. Very fast paced and busy. Co-workers are like family, hard-working and fun. Job itself is fairly easy albeit busy. Fast turn over rate with employees; most stay for a few months and leave. Overall, if management was better, I would have stayed.

To management.

I consider a different position for this establishment that best fits me. A position where I feel appreciated and my time there is valued. Where I can fulfill my work in a friendly work environment and in a place of belonging. And a position where management cares about my well-being.

After talking with somebody in every position from leads, fellow cashiers, production, and backend. I see that position is not with Thirft Giant.

I started working there right when thrift giant was taking over CCA. Me, one girl and two managers revamped the entire store ourselves and were essentially building the location from ground up. Once we got things all set up, they brought teams of other people in and basically told me and the other girl to stand in the back alone and price jeans for 10 hours straight and not talk to anyone. They questioned everything I did and treated me as though I was incapable 

Help with back end such as unload boxes full of clothes and shoes. Also with boxes full of accessories . Put out merchandise on the floor for sale . I learned how to work with a forklift , how to also  put merchandise neatly and keep racks of clothes full . The most enjoyable part of the job was to get along with co workers and managment , learn about different brands of clothes and  the prices and help the community purchase good clothing for a cheaper price .

I loved working there customers and employees are awesome but I was there 7 seven months and waiting on my raise but they keep giving me excuses on why I can’t receive one. This job is made for teenagers basically since they don’t intend on giving raises. I truly did like working there but I have bills to pay which I had to leave.

Overall productive workplace when it came to sale days and discount days. Only fun when you knew people and enjoyed moving around. Management was a pain because they really didn’t listen when it came to time off or issues. Pay is decent when you work full time and you are just starting out, in my opinion of course.
