Food City Supermarkets
Newport, TN

I went from frying chicken in a kitchen for two months to running my first department which was dairy for two years. I made sure it was stocked, clean, and organized. I went into a training program for 17 weeks. I trained in each department with the best department leads. After finishing the program I was promoted to assistant store manager. For three years I would work various shifts overseeing each department of the whole store, stocking, organizing, providing customer service, handling unsatisfied customers, delegating tasks, inventory, and etc.. I realized while training I enjoyed the meat department and having that trade would benefit me better financially and give me better hours to spend with family. So, I transitioned to meat and learned a lot more about the cuts, how to cut, and how to use the equipment. I went through a cutting class, was trained, and was ready to move into managing my own department.

Reason for leaving: I moved here to Louisiana.
