Location

 Spencer, Iowa

Job Description

Your job is to protect the assets of the store. You have to walk around the store and watch for suspicious individuals, and stop any individuals that you saw shoplifting. Your other job was to make sure employees where honest and keep an eye on any cash shortages. Then you would also do checks on other stores by pretending that you where a shoplifter to see if the store followed there loss prevention procedures. You would also have to attend safety meetings and make sure all employees where doing their job safely.

Salary

I received $8.00 an hour starting off and after 2 years I was making $11.15 an hour. After 90 I was eligible for Health Insurance and 401 K.

Working ConditionsThe working conditions could get very stressful. When you stop individuals for shoplifting they could become very irate and it could be hard to calm them down. Other times if the store was slow then it could be hard to walk around a store for 8 hours at a time and try to stay focused. Hours had to be varied and you had to work holidays so you would have to be flexible. You met all kinds of people because you where never in just one department!
Physical RequirementsYou had to be able to walk for 8 hours at a time and there could be times that you might get in physical altercations.
Interview InformationI had to take a test asking several questions on what I would do in certain situations. I would call it a generic interview.
