Jobs pros and cons
Oct. 26th, 2009 09:14 pmMind you, this remains theoretical until one or the other calls me back and says "Hey, you're clean, come work for us! Redrum!" but I'm weighing the pros and cons of the two jobs I've interviewed for this past week.
Since the net was down over the weekend, here's the scoop on my Saturday interview. I knew the HR guy from Donato's back in 2000ish. After a drug test and a background check (which I'm waiting to hear back on), he offered me a position in the gas station.
I'm too lazy to make a table, so bear with me.
Wendy's
Pros
Pays more than Kroger's
Would never go hungry
Day shift
easy.
Cons
Working in food
Working with teenagers
Way the hell out in BFE (out by the zoo)
Kroger's
Pros
Union job, so fairly frequent pay raises
Work by myself
Uniform only requires jeans
easy.
Cons
Pay horrible until 4 months on the job
Dealing with Polaris people
Working under a guy I worked with 10 years ago I vaguely remember disliking
shift switches a lot.
In all honesty, I'll probably take whichever one calls me first, since I need a paycheck.
