I found this web site that has reviews for employers as well as salary data. Hopefully this will be of use to you. You can probably find some other sites that provide this data by using Bing (or Google) to search for "employer reviews".
Good luck in your job search.
Oh, and one other thing - some unsolicited advice: don’t be too picky. Any job is better than sitting at home on your arse. You’ll also find that it’s easier to “upgrade” to a better job when you’re currently employed than to try and get a good one when you’re unemployed - particularly if you have been unemployed for awhile.
When I was young I was forced into needing unemployment. Kids, rent due... and I had nothing. Took a job, worked 40 hours and brought home 144.00. I was collecting 146.00. No joke.
Best thing I ever did. Got me swinging again and a few months later, caught on with a company that helped me l;earn the skills to launch my own and I haven’t worked for anyone but me for damn near 40 years.It’s been rough and we don’t know if we’ll make it through the coming inflation, but I was glad I took that job.
just go do the interview and try for the job, put blinders on.
I was in retail management in a previous life. Pay is so-so to slightly above average and hours are very irregular and can be particularly brutal during the peak shopping season. Depending on the responsibilities and region, pay for store managers can vary from $35K or so for someone who runs a Jiffy Lube down south to $85K or more for someone who manages a high traffic truck stop/convenience store/restaurant in the northeast.
It can even get into the triple digits if you are talking a large Wal-Mart Superstore or something of that nature, depending on the region.
Not an employee.
But a regular shopper there.
The store morphed or whatever, from ‘Pic ‘n Save’ many years back.
They regularly have good brand name organic cereals, but one must have some patience until the next supply comes in.
Seems there’s myself and another shopper who buy many boxes at a time - because when I turn around, it’s all gone!
Then we wait - - - !
Same for organic drinks.
Love finding organic stuff at Big Lots!
They added furniture a few years ago, so not quite sure what the bottom line is with them.
Good Luck!
As to any job vs. no job - I'm not sure with present economic realities I would so readily endorse the former. The case could be made that it's better to withhold one's skillset from society out of protest until we see real movement toward real capitalism as envisioned by Adam Smith and away from crony capitalism that allows for the growth of de facto oligarchies. By the latter, I mean generations of descendents of brilliant men who, unlike their forebear, do nothing but sit on their derrieres, run foundations, loan the same money out twice or three times - anything to avoid an honest day's work.
Be careful, and guard your dignity and freedom as an individual. He who has the gold does not make the rules. He who does productive work makes the rules. I wish you the very best.
it used to be called big and small lots
