Pros

For a part time retail job, this is pretty easy and has some great coworkers

Cons

-Really bad communication -Highly unorganized -Schedule was always last minute (often still had mistakes) -No one told us beforehand that we would have to pay for parking (each driver spent several hundreds on it overall) -They watch security cameras all day and listened to employee conversations -Many were often promised promotions (seemingly to make them do more work) and then no one would get promoted -Everyone is hired through a temp agency and told they will become regular employees, but no one was made one the entire time I worked there -They told us we couldn't discuss pay with each other (which is illegal in WA) and tried to make us believe we'd be in legal trouble if we did. We almost fell for it, which completely ruined any trust I had in the company

Pros

- Decent base salary if this is your first job out of University. - Free Swag - WFH Fridays - Smart and helpful colleagues

Cons

- Incredibly stressful, do NOT take this job if you do not have a high stress tolerance. - A ton of competing priorities that almost always require quick/immediate action. - You get a ton of emails and are expected to be able to pull up and reference any of them at a moments notice. - Constant whiplash between doing deep, focused work (presentation/catalogs) that have a ton of details and require your full attention versus quick/rapid fire tasks that you must address immediately. There were days where I was working on one presentation all day and couldn't get it done because of how much I was getting pinged to resolve other issues. - To get promoted you must essentially do the job of 2 people (CSC and PSA). Beyond that, there is no real career progression unless you want to go into sales. - Management always says to raise your hand if you need help. But when you ask for help, there is always pushback in the form of others having more task hours than you. - CEO took away one of the WFH days. When Qualtrics had negative feedback he essentially said "If you don't like it - then leave". He is a "Do as I say, not as I do." type of leader. - Workload and responsibilities are not commiserate to the salary.
