Original Comment I became employed by Rite Aid in March 2014. Day One. Store Manager Did not give me any training instead brought me over to cashier that was working introduced us and then I was told by the cashier that, "I had NO Idea I was going to Train You" This is how they do things! I was told by the coworker "Feeding You To The Wolves" Method. Then sarcastically said "Welcome To Rite Aid" By afternoon on my first day with NO Training what so ever the Store Manager said after my half hour break. It is time for you to "Ring" I was horrified I had NO IDEA What I was doing!!! How can someone that just begins a job be completely alone on Register without knowing the "Western Union" "Money Transfers" "Kid Cents" and so much more. I thought to myself. Does this Store Manager Not care about the Money of this "Store" ?????? The other very upsetting point. I was told one job pay rate and when it came to first day I caught store manager putting in a totally different amount and a lot less then what was discussed. I told Store Manager that this is not the rate of pay we discussed I said I did not agree to this I want to see in writing what I am going to be paid. From that moment on the "HEAT" was on. First Paycheck on a Friday I was shorted one full day of pay and went on Saturday in the morning told the Store Manager my concern and she said to me "Relax this Happens" especially with new employees! I said to her OH Really? "I keep everything recorded" I got a very mean look from the Store Manager. I was told I was going to have to complete CBT's (Computer Basic Training) I only worked two mornings in the office on them and that did not give me enough time. I was only suppose to do CBT's while I was ringing at one register and Reading and doing CBT's on the next portal. This was virtually impossible because as soon as I signed on to training I would get a customer and would have to stop and ring. My primary job is that of being a manager and I know for a fact that all these things that were happening was NOT RIGHT! After a month I was told by shift supervisor that I had to do my CBT's and since I could not get them done by being up front I would have to do them in the back office to finish them up. I did as I was told and worked on the CBT's as directed. So after a month of working Rite Aid I finally found out what "Western Union" "Kid Cents" "Money Transfer" and other very important policies and procedures were and how to do them. I said to the Manager in Charge. "It would have been a lot easier if I was shown and trained on these certain things when I first started then it is now after an entire month. The Shift Supervisor said "We find it easier to train as we go" That would have been fine except every time I would call someone up to help me I would get an attitude and I would feel like a fool asking any questions so I held my breath every time I had to call up someone. Because I asked questions and because I told them that in my Manager Role were I work Full-Time I never in my life have trained by the "Fly By The Seat Of Your Pants Method" Store Manager did not like this at all so I have been "Outed" I was originally working 3 days when I started this job I was very clear that I could not work evenings. This past week I was put on 1 shift and the hours are night hours which I can not work. Who can I talk to about this. I am going to contact the "Department of Labor" I thought you could give me some advice as well.
