What a great college job! - I worked 30-40 per week while carrying full load at Maryville University. Hard work, split schedules, good people and a good company. A great job to have during my college years. I learned quite a bit about retailing, work ethic, customer care and responsibility. I saw a small 3 store chain grow from the old small grocery store to the major multi-store supermarket enterprise in the St.Louis area. Fun to go back and visit the St. Louis area and see how Dierbergs has continued to grow over the years.
