There is truly good people who work at this store. I also made good friends with many of my coworkers, so the atmosphere wasn’t always so stressful all the time. On a positive note I did gain a ton of forklift and reach truck skill that I still have to this day. Being 19 and 20 at the time of my employment here I struggled with getting other young hires my age to actually work and not just stand around, it seemed like pulling teeth, and it was difficult because being young myself I’d get categorized in with these employees who don’t want to work. My previous job was a very intense outdoor labor job so I felt that working here would be a nice mixture of still getting to do heavy lifting but just not standing in the hot sun all day. I started working there with a very good attitude and sense of wanting to work hard. I worked there for a little over 2 years, mainly in the lumber section.

If you're able-bodied and already used to retail, it was a fun job with a lot of free food that I miss in my current job, but at least my location had no interest in trying to help someone who developed a health problem on the job. I was entirely on my own if anything came up after the schedule was made even if it was weeks out.
I was also unable to request days off for family events and no one was willing to help. I quit after six months because of the physical strain and lack of support. (I was not, and I'm still dealing with this condition years later even after surgery.) There was nowhere to sit and rest when no customers were around, and my requests for accommodations and shorter shifts were ignored.īesides physical disability, as a new hire of only a couple months, I was frequently left alone to manage the paint department and couldn't get help when I needed it, leading to multiple panic attacks. I enjoyed the job itself, there was a lot of training, but I developed plantar fasciitis within a month of starting the job and got no support for trying to deal with it, and mostly people telling me that I was complaining too much and "Everyone has foot pain" that caused me to delay seeking treatment thinking I was overexaggerating the pain.
