It's a very demanding job.  The file clerk's job is to make sure everything is properly tagged and scans at the correct price.  You'll also have to do individual price changes for whenever a department decides to put an item on sale that isn't normally on sale.  The big thing is you'll have to work overnight Saturday through Sunday morning changing all the tags and checking the prices.  Our file clerks get called several times a day on pricing matters.

I've done it. It was the last position I did there before I resigned a few weeks ago do to my health.

I just did Saturday nights and Sunday nights, from 10pm to 7:30am as a file maintenance clerk.

I was one of the few that just changes a millionty tags all night - getting up and down five thousand times a night to change tags isn't pleasant at all.

Also, if you're going to be the coordinator or his assistant/backup, you'll have to know how to print signs, scan items for you can print signs for them, print new tags for items as well as do adchecks (pretty much scanning every item in the ad to make sure that the price matches what is listed).

It's not an easy job, and it was still minimum wage, at least when I was doing it, even though my title still stated front end/bagger, which really isn't right but they didn't want to pay me more than minimum wage, I'm sure.

There's plenty more to do if you're the actual coordinator, such as check emails for changes, organize tags for your crew and for the Kompass reset team and many other things.

If you're fast an proficient, it probably won't be too insane, as long as you have sufficient people to help with tags on the weekend when you get several thousand to put up, the most we had was about 11,000 tags, I believe.

Working with the RF Handhelds isn't difficult - you just have to remember what does what and in what mode.

Train by organizing your computer desk. It's a cluttered mess.
