I WORKED FOR MONEY BOX AS SOON AS I GOT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL. I LIKED IT IN THE BEGINNING BUT I WAS KIND OF HARD BECAUSE MY OTHER CO-WORKER IN HIS 30'S KEPT BULLYING ME BECAUSE I DIDN'T DO THINGS HIS WAY. I FINALLY TRANSFERRED IT GOT MUCH BETTER FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS. THEN I NEW GIRL SHOWS UP MESSES UP MY AREA, CALLS IN, DOESN'T ALWAYS COME IN DRESS CODE, IS PREGNANT, AND IS ALWAYS ON HER CELL PHONE. WELL IT WAS FAVORTISIM SO I TRANSFERRED. I WAS A GOOD EMPLOYEE THE WHOLE 8+ YEARS I WAS THERE I ONLY CALLED IN SICK 5-6 TIMES CAME IN EARLY WORKED LATER AND SOMETIMES PICKED UP OR SWTICHED SHIFTS. CUSTOMERS WERE SHITTY TOO. THEN I SWTICHED TO MY FINAL LOCATION WHICH WAS OK A LITTLE GHETTO CUSTOMERS WHERE MEANER BUT ONCE I STOOD MY GROUND THEY ACCEPTED ME. WELL ME AND MY BOSS GOT ALONG GOOD HOWEVER I NOTICED SOMETHING. WHENEVER I WAS OFF OR LEFT EARLY MY BOSS'S DRAWER WOULD COME UP SHORT. PLUS HE WOULD ALWAYS SAY I HAVE CAR PROBLEMS I NEED THIS I NEED THAT I CAN'T EAT LUNCH TODAY. I ASKED HIM ONE DAY WHENEVER I'M NOT HERE YOUR ALWAYS SHORT HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. WELL ONE DAY I WAS BY MYSELF NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. I GOT A BILEGERENT CUSTOMER WHO WOULD NOT LEAVE OR TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER SO FED UP WITH CUSTOMERS IN THE LOBBY I CUSSED HIM OUT. MAYBE NOT THE RIGHT THING TO DO BUT WHEN YOU HAVE HAD IT YOU'VE HAD IT. THE CUSTOMER CAME BACK AND APOLOGIZED TO ME WHICH WAS GREAT I APOLOGIZED RIGHT BACK FOR HIM TO NOTICE THAT WAS REAL BIG OF HIM SO I HELPED HIM OUT HE GOT WHAT HE NEEDED IN THE END. WELL 2 WEEKS LATER MY BOSS'S BOSS CAME IN AND ASKED ME WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY I TOLD HIM THE TRUTH I DID GET UGLY WITH HIM BUT IN THE END WE ACTED LIKE ADULTS AND HE GOT WHAT HE NEEDED. I GOT SUSPENDED THEN TERMINATED THE NEXT DAY. COME TO FIND OUT MY BOSS TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED THE CUSTOMER NEVER COMPLAINED OR CALLED MY BOSS TO TALK ABOUT IT MY BOSS WAS ACTUALLY THE ONE WHO GOT ME FIRED. AFTER ALL THIS 8 YEARS FOR NOTHING. TO BE HONEST I THINK IT WAS BECAUSE MY BOSS KNEW I WAS CATCHING UP TO HIM ON HIS STEALING. WELL NOW THE HAPPY ENDING COMES 3 MONTHS LATER TO THE DAY MY WHO GOT ME FIRED GOT FIRED FOR STEALING!!!! I WAS HAPPY ESTATIC HE ATE CROW NOW JOBLESS KARMA BIT HIM IN THE ASS!!! NOW I WORK AT A BANK BETTER HOURS AND GREAT HOLIDAYS OFF PLUS I WORK TIL 1 ON SATURDAYS. GETTING FIRED WAS A GREAT THING FOR ME. MONEY BOX FAVORS THEIR MANAGERS MORE THEN THE HARD WORKING EMPLOYEES. ALSO, WHEN I GOT FIRED SINCE IT WAS AROUND THE TIME THE RECESSION WAS STARTING THEY WERE STARTING TO LET PEOPLE GO FOR NO REASON. BEING LATE, BEING SHORT MONEY, ANY LITTLE THING. ONE OF MY OLD CO-WORKERS WORKED THERE AS LONG AS ME SHE CAME OUT SHORT BUT THEY GOT THE MONEY BACK NO HASSLE NO PROBLEMS BUT THEY LET HER GO. THEY LET ANOTHER WORKER GO BECAUSE SHE CAME OUT SHORT AND THEY KNEW SHE DIDN'T STEAL IT BUT THEY TOLD HER BECAUSE SHE'S PART TIME THEY WERE GONNA LET HER GO. ALL IN ALL I WILL NEVER PUT THAT MUCH EFFORT INTO A JOB THAT DOES NOT RESPECT YOU BACK. GOOD MONEY EXPERIENCE BUT NOT A CAREER.
PROS- GET SOME MAJOR HOLIDAYS OFF YOU ALWAYS GET THE DAY AFTER X-MAS OFF, SHIRTS PROVIDED JUST WEAR KHAKI'S, $100 X-MAS BONUS, CLOSED SUNDAY.
CONS- WORK TIL 7 SATURDAYS WORK TIL 6, FAVORITISM IS THEIR MOTTO, HR LADY IS NOISY AND BULLIES AT TIMES, THEY CHANGE INSURANCE COMPANYS EVERY YEAR, YOU HAVE TO SAVE YOUR PTO TO TAKE A DAY OFF OR YOUR VACATION OFF IT'S NOT GIVEN TO YOU LIKE OTHER JOBS. THIS YEAR NO RAISES YOU ALSO HAVE TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT OF THE POLICIES WHICH NOW LETS THEM CHECK YOUR CAR AND PURSE OR OTHER BELONGINGS IF THEY THINK YOU HAVE THEIR MONEY OR ARE STEALING. THEY TAKE SERIOUS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ON THE MOTTO "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT NOT" THE EMPLOYEE IF IF THE CUSTOMER IS LYING!
