CONGRATULATIONS! BTW, did you start as an entry level employee at Walgreen's? Stories about employees that start in an entry level position and move up are great. ILM |

Well I started as a photo specialist, which is just a step up from cashier. Still pretty entry level though. |

Good for you, jgoo!! Be sure to celebrate your good news with your lovely bride and kitteh. I think you should spring for a can of tuna for Frank-kitteh.

Cool! Congrats! I know you've explained it before, but what does a SIMS coordinator do? |

It's pretty much inventory control. SIMS stands for "Strategic Inventory Management System." It will be my job to keep all on-hand counts of the store's inventory accurate. I'll also be doing a bit of ordering and receiving for the store, as well as revision and resets of store shelves, location maintenance, I'll be ensuring that any price changes coming down from corporate will be made and posted, etc. The nice thing about this promotion, as my store manager even pointed out, is that I'm not starting from the ground up. While I still have a bit to learn in my training that I don't yet know, I already do know a lot of it. |

Good news, jgoo! I'm so glad you finally got what you were hoping for. What's the new store like, and how's the location? Be fun to be part of a team in a brand spanking new space.

I drove by it yesterday and looked in through the windows. The exterior is finished but as far as the interior goes, not a single shelf or counter yet. It took me only 8 minutes to get home from the place. |

Thanks all, for the congrats! I'm really excited and looking forward to going to a brand new store, yet at the same time it's going to be hard to leave the one I've called my home for a year and a half behind. I got my year and a half review on my most recent pay check, too. So it's nice to have that and then, I don't think on my next check but the one after that, another raise to reflect the pay on my new position. |
