Value Drug Mart

In the morning I would come in and count cash for the tills, then depending on the day would vacuum and clean the bathrooms. I would spend most of the day operating the till and lotto machine, while cleaning and stocking the stores shelves. During my time there I learned how to deal with customers and the responsibility it takes to have a full time job. I got along well with my co-workers and employers. 
The hardest part of my job was when I was moved up to help in the Pharmacy at the back of the store. While this was a more rewarding position it was also more stressful. 
I really enjoyed coming to work every day and having sense of purpose. It was a wonderful place to work, and I sometimes miss it.

I loved working for this company; the management was compatible, functional, and knowledgeable.
Always supportive when complaints or suggestions were brought forward or concerns needed resolving.
Not afraid to promote and shuffle employees within the company to better suited positions.
Encouraging and would reward good work ethics.
The hardest part of the job was correcting errors that would occur.
The most enjoyable part of the job was training the new hires.

Due to Value Drug Mart being a smaller chain store owned privately, it feels like you are working in a closely-knit environment with the other workers, which is enjoyable. A typical day at work includes working the cash register, operating the lottery machine, helping customers, cleaning shelves and organizing, taking out the garbage, etc. The hardest part of the job is dealing with angry customers, which is a responsibility in any service job. The only complaint I have about working at Value Drug Mart is not being given a raise as often as I felt I deserved one.

Value Drug Mart is really only suitable as a place for temporary employment; there aren't really any future career opportunities with this company. The only advancement possible past the retail level is at one of their corporate locations - however, no one who works in a retail store really knows how they hire staff for corporate. They never post job offers or promote from their stores.

If you are female and enjoy washing your boss’ stinky lunch dishes, babysitting his kids during work hours, being called “darlin’”,and having men recommend meds for menopause, then this is the place for you!
I tried to laugh it off/give it back for months until I over-reacted the day it became unbearable: my 16 yr old rolled her car on an icy highway and I couldn’t take any more snide comments from staff that day.

I really enjoyed working here. The managers, staff and customers are key to this business. I felt like family. I learned so much working here. To know that you have helped people who are possibly not feeling well. I always made sure to welcome them with a smile and a hello. I learned to listen closely to peoples concerns.

I worked at Value Drug Mart in highschool & for a few months after I graduated. The staff I worked with were wonderful & if you're a highschool student looking for part time work, I recommend this place! The hours for highschool students are perfect as the store is only open until 7 pm & closed on Sundays.

I would mainly run the cash register, and stock shelves as needed. In addition apart of the job was learning the post office, sorting mail and giving it to the right person. Learned how to operate a lottery machine.

A typical day included, Signing in, Team Meeting about what the day held in store, Lunch, another meeting at shift change, and sign out. the work included picking orders and getting orders ready to ship. Management had good workplace relationships with their employees.

I enjoyed the work I did and got along pretty well with most of my co-workers but I had a hard time getting along with my manager. I would work there again if the manager was no longer there.
