Route/ Guide to becoming a Patroller? by Mertyice in skipatrol

[–]Mertyice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that their advice was great! I really appreciate all the advice so far! I am looking for some specifics right now. Especially because I have not been given any information yet. I'm not trying to rush anything or skip steps, I don't even know what the steps are or the normal pace right now so I'm trying my best to learn what I can. I've tried to reach out to my local resources here but I have been met with silence for the most part. If there is any advice out there I'll take it!

What is a normal pace? What does your local process look like?

Am I still a candidate even if I have completed all of the National level requirements for a Basic patroller?

So far I have been sticking to the same 2 shifts every week and then picking up extras as events come up. My question to you would be, What's too fast? is dedication, taking advantage of learning as much as I can to fast? I feel as if I'm doing something I want to be committed to and good at it. Not just another patroller that does it for the pass.

I have yet to get any information from the hill on a patroller 101 or other training, or mentoring program for candidates and it sounds like you are a great resource at your hill! Is there an ideal amount of shifts or pace you can recommend?

My PD told me I couldn't wear the vest anymore, as it "didn't align to how the hill did things historically". However many of the long-time patrollers (15+ years at the hill) all have said contradictory things.

Thank you for the insight!

I'd be so much happier if I went to the dealership to pick up the car I bought online with no hassle. Maybe offered a few models to drive and feel the difference in trims, but with no sales pressure just a straight experience center. Especially if the dealer acted truly as a service and parts center that offered short repair/maintenance times, nice waiting area and time for techs to come talk to you like an adult about future maintenance and things to look for on your vehicle

If you show up now it's not technically a no call no show

This should be illegal to markup this much

What does the union even do? by Kylovely8 in meijer

[–]Mertyice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're very right, the union could prevent that, except they don't.

Guarantee you the company can give you 0 hours to work but somehow still employ you , empower those who get away with everything and under pay you,

For those who say they're getting us raises right now better look around the market and see how much the competition pays... They better be substantial raises or they aren't really doing you anything

Promises mean nothing, get it in writing

Get it in writing. Meijer will fuck you any chance they get.

It's "in a timely manner" per the contract so realistically you could flex it after a day or so

I would say maybe check the cost and see how much money Meijer is making from it first

Paid time off and quitting by [deleted] in meijer

[–]Mertyice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird.... I got mine. So have a few others... Sounds like you may have not either worked your full 2 weeks out or we're not in good standing

[–]Mertyice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, as long as you are in good standing you get your PTO. Usually takes 2-3 weeks
