The benefits, promotional opportunity., and the people.
I was hired as a cashier in Columbus, Ga many years ago. I do not recommend working there. The head cashiers were never available when the cashiers needed change, had a question, or difficulty ringing things up. Others who were supposed to be available to assist often ignored being summoned. I often had to go all the way to the mgr just to get change or ask how to ring something up after trying to get a hold of 6-7 people. Many items weren't marked with a UPC code, or would have 12 different UPC codes. Some inventory is listed as "product not in inventory"(cannot be sold). Just a nightmare.
I transitioned to Georgia a few months ago and I've hit the pavement for work. So far only one temp service had work for me for almost two weeks after that nothing. I really need work really bad.
I’m planning to relocate to Georgia. If anyone has valuable advice about housing, jobs, community, I will greatly appreciate and consider all which is advised.
