Where have you worked?

The fired thread gave me an idea for this. 

Where all have you worked?

I consider the fact that I've had as many jobs in about 7 years than most people work in one lifetime a great accomplishment, so I'll try to rattle my list off first.

Wendy's

WalMart

ComfortInn/BestWestern/Knight'sCourt - all owned by the same guy, so I'll count as one.

MeadWestvaco - paper mill

K&W Cafeteria

Kroger

Airtronics - HVAC service

Family Dollar

Radford University Sports

Macado's - restaurant

Hollywood Video

Echostar Communications - Services DishNetwork

CSX - railroad

Best Buy

Baker's Crust - restaurant

K&S Remodeling

RSVA - body removal company (AWESOME JOB)

Bacova - manufacturing

Lowe's

Cash Converters - skeezy pawnshop-type store

Pepsi Bottling Group

J.D. Byrider - rips people with bad credit a new one to finance a car

Wachovia

 

Most of them are pretty terrible places to work, but being a classic underachiever, I was never big on prestige.  Plus, a notch in the belt is a notch in the belt.

 

 

Okay, I'm not going to list everywhere I've worked (that would cover 20 years).

Had various jobs in the mortgage industry for many years.
Then did dispatch/admin for a fax/printer repair dept, then a facility maintenance dept.
I am now admin for a police dept.

Different side/PT jobs I've had are:

Petsmart
Sam's Club
Feline Pine (cat litter) demo lady -yes I stood there and did demonstrations of cat litter.

I'm thinking there maybe more but I can't remember.

My list will be short:

Paperboy

Kroger

Pet-shop for about a month

Nationwide Ins. 27 years now. I have had several positions with in the company not sure you want to count each one, since it has been with same company.

Why did you have so many jobs if not for being fired, hated them? :P

I've worked in a vet clinic, a doggy daycare/boarding place, and cat/dog boarding place. I need to get away from these jobs -_-

hostess at restaurant when I was 15 then worked at a grocery store for 3 years... amusement park, church daycare (hahahaha), target, garden ridge, mental hospital, liquor store, children's residential facility, charter school, english academy overseas... I'd say that's a lot from 15-23. With the exception of the liquor store and Target (both 3 month jobs), the rest were at least one year.

 I get bored easily so I'd work somewhere a few weeks or months and float on to the next place.

I volunteered at the Toledo Clinic in the oncology department.

I worked at Tim Hortons for three months as a baker.  I quit because of sickness.

I worked at Gottfried Medical for three months as a seamstress.  I was fired for asking to leave a half hour early to attend my aunt's funeral.

I worked at East of Chicago Pizza for ten months as a dishwasher/kitchen prep.  I was fired for calling my boss a cheap bastard and an idiot, or so he says.

I worked at East of Chicago Pizza for one month as a waitress/prep (different store).  I quit because I moved.

I work at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center currently as a phlebotomist.  I'm still within my 90 day probationary period.

1.  Camp Counselor (3 months)
2.  Video Store  (6 months)
3.  Bakery  (1 year)

5.  Ritz Camera  (2 years)
6.  Radio Shack  (1 year)
7.  Merchandising Asst. at a small appliance/electronics corp. office. (current -     almost 2 years)

I'm only 23. Started when I was 14. Jobs 3 and 4 overlapped for about 5 months or so.

I have worked at:  TCBY, Yogurt & CO; Art Model at College, worked at a Bar/Club, In the kitchen of a Nursing Home; then LA Weight Loss, an Executive Search firm; then did some biotech PR stuff; left to do Real Estate; and then started Recruiting.  Now I work at an Ad Agency doing just that.

• I got my first job when I was 14, I started out as a cashier for this small natural farm. In the 4 years that I worked there I bounced around but mostly worked as a baker.
• In the summers during high school I also worked at the beach taking people's money for 3 years
• Small coffee shop for just over a year
• Blockbuster for a week
• Cashier of parts dept at a Hummer dealership for just under a year
• Salon receptionist for about 6 months
• Delivered pizza for a week
• Voodoo shop on Bourbon Street for over a year
• Law office receptionist/assistant to an attorney for 6ish months
• CVS in photo lab for like 5 months
• Call center for 8 months
• And now I work at a coffee place that also makes homemade ice cream

 

Wendy -2 years  

Pizza Hut - assistant manager 3 year

Mr. Subb - manager 6 year

Fox Hospital and Walmart -same time - still going strong 2 years

College student - 14 year

• Selling magazines for a couple of years
• Sears for 5 yrs - office clerk, receptionist, sales clerk, assistant manager, sales manager
• Farmers Ins for 5 yrs - office claims adjuster, field claims adjuster, then claims supervisor
• GEICO for a few months as an office claims adjuster (hated that place!)
• I worked for myself for 2 years
• Wine store for over a year (PT, 2nd job)
• Now I work for another insurance company as a claims supervisor

Considering I didn't get a job until after I graduated high school (wanted to focus on school, first, and did Marching Band, helped out the swim team, Indoor Drumline, etc, etc...I was a busy overachiever, haha), my list is very short (I'm only 20).

• Wawa. I still miss this place. Mainly because the food was awesome and the store I worked for was an older one, so therefore it was tiny, and had a tight-knit staff. My boss kind of inadvertently screwed me over, though. Quit when I moved down to North Carolina to live with my husband, and more than likely wouldn't have if Wawa's existed down here.
  
• Target. Absolutely hated working there. Worked there for a little over a month. Got sick one morning and couldn't call in sick (the number I had was for the front desk, not for the back office) and no one would have answered because I worked the "4am to whenever I decided to leave" shift. They never called me to check up on me. Pretty much never showed up there again except to get my last paycheck. Pretty much assumed I was fired. Loved how I could basically choose how many hours I worked a week, hated the pay (went from 8.50 at Wawa to 6.75...that should have been sign enough it wasn't worth it), liked some of the people, and hated getting up at 3am to go to work.
  
• Sam's Club. Current job, been there for about 8-9 months now. =) Love the people, love the pay, the opportunities to move up are endless, they care if I'm 20 minutes late and make sure to check up on me, etc. The only thing I don't like is the favoritism. =( Seems to have gotten worse when a certain manager became the front end manager. -_-;

I plan to stick with Sam's Club for a while, unless hubby and I end up moving. It helps me pay for school. =)

armandleg-- I agree. Target sucks hardcore. 

Let's see, in the past 13 year I have worked (in chronological order):

1.)  At a renaissance faire - making crepes and kitchen prep

2.)  At a fabric store

3.)  At a bank

4.)  At a coffee/ice cream shop

5.)  At a teenage clothing store

6.)  As a temp (tons of places, too many to list... all general admin stuff)

7.)  At a real estate office (as an admin)

8.)  At a CPA firm (as an admin/tax preparer)

9.)  At a CPA firm (as an auditor)

10.)  In commercial real estate (in accounting)

11.)  In retail (in accounting at the corp. office)

12.)  Back to commercial real estate (you guessed it, in accounting)

• Montgomery Ward (During summers in high school, and first year of college.  Men's department.  Most boring job ever.  The most interesting thing that happened was when the customers would remove the Hanes briefs from the packages to look at them - which never made sense to me, a brief is a brief is a brief - and I'd have to repackage them and tape them up.  Fascinating)
• Eureka Baking Company (Second summer in college.  They had the best sourdough bread ever)
• the Gap (for two weeks. Got a great pair of fleece-lined jeans at the 50% discount!)
• Erik's DeliCafé (greatest starving college student job.  I wouldn't have survived, and neither would many of my itinerant friends, if I hadn't worked there through college)
• Toyota dealership, DMV Clerk (soul-sucking terribly stressful busywork)
• Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (accounting.  Boring, but a neat place to work)
• An unnamed Winery (where I am now.  Doing accounting still.  Great company!  I love having wine-tastings at work!)

I was a freelance artist for shop, pub interiors etc. in Sa for a couple of years but got fed up chasing money even though clients were happy with my work.

Then I helped with the buying in a shopfitting outfit.

Then I left SA because a cheap one way ticket appeared to the UK.  There I became a silver service waitress for all types of celebrity gatherings in London.

But it wasn't enough to pay the rent so I fled to the countryside and chopped lettuce.  Then I went to Ireland and washed dishes after being demoted from chef's assistant as I couldn't think of more then 3 different salads to rustle up in 20 mins.

So then I ended up in a factory making stents for non-invasive heart surgery in Ireland on the west coast.  What a lovely place to live.

But factory work got too boring so went back to the UK and temped for a while.  Then worked in the facilities department dealing with chaos in the building like when all the coke machines break down at once along with the air con and now I am happy to be an unemployed housewife although I can honestly say it is the hardest job I ever had!

This should be fun... if i can remember them all:

GoGo Dogs - advertising (which consisted of handing out coupons to passerbys)
Sahara Hotel & Casino - Maid
Arby's - Sandwich maker (worst job ever)
Robert Morris College - clerical aid (work study)
Price Waterhouse Coopers - started as data entry operator, promoted to staff accountant
Temp Agency - staff accountant/receptionist (bounced from company to company around Vegas looking for the right job)
Mikohn Gaming Corp - staff accountant
Whitehall Jewellers - staff accountant (yes, they purposely mispell the word jewelers)
Northern Trust Company - Portfolio Accounting Analyst (the one job I have ever been fired from - loved counting wealthy peoples $$$ - gave me something to aspire to)
West Suburban Hospital - Staff Accountant
MCI - Now Verizon Business - I love this job!!! :)  Financial Analyst/Team Lead

PHEW...  I tell you if I could remember how many different companies I worked for during that temp season, you would all be majorly impressed with me! :)

First job: McDonald's (burger flipper - 6 months)

Subway (8 months - "sandwich artist")

Privately owned video store (2 years - ended in a nightmare)

Back at Subway now - it ain't much, but I like it!  I have to say I make awesome sandwiches :)
