YES! One reason I stay. Plus there's no supervisor over your shoulder anymore, because like you said as long as your tasks are complete at the end of your shift, you are golden

It's not bad really if you can handle getting up. It's fast paced barista/cashiers stuff I do mostly. It's probably one of a handful of food service jobs that don't include a wall of tablets for door dash etc.

4-11 sounds nice honestly haha.

Morning shift is 4am to 11am or noon. "Night" shift starts at 11am and goes until the last flight, which averages 8, but can be later with Delays.

What’s the hours like? I love working food service, just can’t find a manager that actually wants to work with my hours and let me work days lol.

Not for most of the jobs. There are some more specialized ones that would prefer certain experience, but I’m sure with your work experience you could find something.

Drury is free after 1 year for employees. Your dependents are I think 50% off after one year, then 75% at 2, and 100% at 3 years. It works for undergrad and graduate/certificate courses.

Tailwind Concessions (the airport bar) is hiring managers. $50000 a year, 45 hours a week min if anyone interested. They're also hiring staff positions, cooks get 16, cashiers 14 + tips. Tips are hit and miss, but leaving with $100+ isn't unheard of, especially in the summer. If any of you do apply please DM me so I can get a bonus when you're hired.

Check out Second Sittings…they do a sale once every few months in the shopping center by Save A Lot on Commercial, but they also sell from this website:

I’ve gotten some great items here at great prices.

Best of luck! Hopefully, I'll see you out there.

Public school district. Someone else commented the same thing.

SPS? Sorry I’m horrible with abbreviations. 😂

I mean I’d definitely consider it! I’m wanting to go back to school to be a Chef, but I just need to get back on my feet job wise first.

Well man, I also have a friend that works for the company and he too has always had good things to say. It’s just been hard to take his word for it, he’s always worked in warehouses so he’s used to it haha. But I appreciate you taking the time out to explain it man. I’ll give them a call tomorrow and see about my application!

I know for a fact that some MSU employees can take free classes and their children are eligible for scholarships. Idk if Drury is the same but I've thought about this a lot.

It takes about a month but it's well worth it. They'll give you every benefit under the sun. Weekends off, holidays off, and snow days. Custodians DO work summers so you dont have to worry about that. FREEDOM OUT THE WAZOO as long as you're getting your tasks done.

Reliable? I work for sps, I like it a lot. Highly recommend it.

I guess I didn’t realize they were on someone’s land, and not the city’s or the state’s.

The shelters around here don’t jive with their lives because they are mostly homeless by choice of drugs/alcohol they refuse to give up.

Your statement may be unpopular to some, but it’s the truth. I have plenty of grass a few homeless could camp on, but doesn’t mean they are welcome. I work waaaaaaaaaay too hard to have the meager shit I do have, to allow someone who does nothing with themself to have free access to it. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Technically it's always been illegal if the landowners have asked them to leave. Simply trespassing.

That being said efforts have ramped up, but I thought it was only focused on enforcement of homeless sleeping/living on public property which doesn't fly anymore.

On one hand, I feel for those displaced and just trying to find somewhere to sleep for the night. On the other if it's my building, property, etc. I don't want people trashing it, making my property into a shanty town. I'm sure this statement will be unpopular, but I truly don't know of anyone offering their backyards up to homeless to camp on. It's easy to say those with a bunch of land shouldn't feel disturbed if homeless camp on one acre. But equally if you feel that way, you shouldn't be annoyed if homeless come and camp in your backyard.

We have systems in place, shelters, food pantries, etc. in place precisely for these people. The problem most of the time is the shelters have strict rules and curfews which don't go well with their lives. Likewise what is really needed is more mental health support.

Really relatable, expectations are very realistic. It's an "employee-owned company," and they put in a lot of effort to take care of us. Music at your workstation is fine, just no earbuds (safety). There's a lot of chatting on the floor, for me coming from retail lumber the difference in pace was a shock.

Thank you, I’ll check them out! Any experience needed?

Drury has lots of openings. Pay depends on the positions, but the benefits are pretty good.

I went ahead and put in an application man, I’m definitely in need of something that keeps me busy like this lol. How’s the management in all honesty?

Isn’t it illegal now for them to just set up camps wherever they want to?

My division works 6:30-3 M-F. Saturdays are possible, but in the last year, production didn't work any that I know of and warehouse only worked 2 halfdays on saturdays for inventory prep.
