QT interview

[ksniperfox]

so i went to the orientation today. seems like a pretty cool place to work. does anyone that works at QT know about how long it takes to get promoted to full time? and do you get a paycheck the first week you start? like, if i start training this week, would i get my check this thursday, or a double next week.

i got my check last night for orientation alone, 50 bux they even delivered it to a store close to my house instead of downtown. training is 34 hours, and is just like working part time but you follow your trainer/they follow you all day and show you what to do, then tell you to do it and they follow up and show you how the store runs. but i learned that you can fill out a promotion request form on my last day of training, to be promotoed to full time. or they can offer it to you. my IT said her trainee was offered full time 1 week after she started part time, especially if you do well, so it really just depends what they need and how you do.

what i hate the most is stocking the coolers cause its so damn cold, even with jackets and hats and gloves(the -12 degree cooler). everything else is fairly easy. just dont dick around. they notice if you have a good attitude and hustle lol. the customers are pretty nice to trainees i only had one bitchy lady and she was old.

my trainer was very nice and informative and thorough, she is 22 and her name is crystal. i cant speak highly enough of her. for being a girl, and only 22, she is extremely smart and gave me a hard/fair time just keeping up with her, and she isnt scared of work one bit. QT knows what the hell theyre doing with their hiring process, and they will make sure you know what you are doing too. she trains other people how to do their jobs. i think its amazing. hopefully you get her too. btw i got assigned to store # 769, peachtree industrial/mcginnis ferry rd.

but IMO you will literally feel like a janitor. but they dont pay you that shitty...the way it was explained to me, is that there is a wait for full time positions. and part time clerks dont work the overnights, unless it is a very busy store. but just because your position title is part time clerk does not mean you cannot work 40 hours. some of the PTC at the store i trained were working 38-40 hours weeks. the manager had a 61 hour week

at the orientation adam said Lawrence was going to be my IT, but this morning at 10, Crystal called me and said that she was going to be my IT. I guess thats good, after the good things you said about her. I start my training tomorrow at the QT on 78 and Stone Dr. near stone mountain, from 7am to 2pm.
