June 2016 • Boise, ID

What I liked

Great co workers, very friendly working environment, fast working pace,.

What I wish was different

I wish new promotions would be communicated effectively and clearly. Sometimes customers ask things I don't know about, but they are on our new promotional offers.

Advice

The environment can be stressful but you just have to keep working through the rush. Don't get overwhelmed and it's ok to step away regain your thoughts and keep working. Come to work with a great attitude and it will be reflected by co workers, managers, customers and tips!
