Supervisor
Current
Brookfield, Illinois, United States
I started working at Brookfield Zoo in 2020 as a retail cashier. I helped customers with any questions and checked them out when ready. When not inside the stores, I will be outside in the carts- where customers can purchase more products. I will engage in fun, exciting activities to bring in more customers like blowing bubbles and/or using our products. Around this time, the pandemic hit and I was laid off. However, I was brought back into work in 2021 as a cashier once again. While back in a familiar environment, I expressed interest in becoming a Supervisor. I was encouraged by the colleagues and received the promotion. As supervisor, I provided aid to each store. I took over register, cleaned the office areas, and kept the stores organized. When not working in the stores, I will assist other workers in the warehouse for stock.
