WORST JOB EVER

Pros

It's a nice store. The products are nice and the work isn't bad while you're there--that is if you don't mind being there all the time.

Cons

They called me in almost every day when I wasn't scheduled and screamed at me if I couldn't come in. I was demoted and received a $2 pay cut for missing one day of work. I have been forced to work 12 hour days while other employees skipped work multiple times and each once a day because that's all I can afford on their pay and they only give breaks often enough and long enough to stay within legal regulations. I called in sick once and my manager came into the other store I work at, during my shift, while I was helping customers and yelled at me publicly, saying that I should really learn to take my job seriously and that I might as well just quit now. So I did. I worked there for over a year. Earthbound has absolutely no respect for its employees.

Pros

-50% discount -"Cool" store vibe with some neat product from all over the world

Cons

-Awful pay -Poor, poor, POOR upper management -Too much focus on sales goals, not enough focus on training employees/merchandising -No training of employees. You are left to learn on your own, and when mistakes happen, they will terminate you. -Terrible hours if you are in a full-time position, you don't get any part of your day! -Some neat product, though most is cheaply made and breaks easily -Somewhat schizophrenic store theme/vision -It's too easy for anyone to be promoted in this company, resulting in poor management and completely screwed store operations. -Extremely unprofessional management and overall work environment. Overall, this company LIKES to believe they know what they are doing, when in reality, behind the sales floor there are a lot of underlying issues. In the 6 months I worked at Earthbound, I saw 10 employees come and go and extremely under qualified people get promoted into management positions. This company is a joke.
