Pros

Easy hiring process Nice work atmosphere fast paced, but fun ability to learn more about customer service field Easy going supervisors/managers

Cons

They only hire you as a temporary employee because they would rather continuously hire and train new people during busy seasons that keep an employee part time/seasonal because offering benefits is something they do not want to do. Even employees who have been there for years do not get benefits because they are considered part time employees even though they work 40 hour work weeks during busy seasons (which is 25-50% of the year). After busy season is over they fire temporary employees, and tell them they will possibly call them next season, but to no avail. They simply continue to hire new employees, which is a pain because they have to be trained. It would be much easier to call/accept temp. employees from the past.

Pros

I handle a mix of order questions and returns which builds my knowledge steadily. The team works well together and I like the steady pace through the day. Hours are reliable and leadership communicates expectations well. It's a good spot for developing support experience.

Cons

There are some repetitive customer questions.

Pros

The core selection of products is solid when they are actually stocked properly.

Cons

-The real issue is that people were pushed into management with no real understanding of how to lead. -Managers are making operational decisions with no prior experience training others or handling responsibility at this level, and it shows in every choice. -Decisions seem to come from guesswork or favoritism, while staff doing the actual work deal with the consequences. -The chain of command is completely unclear because directions are constantly changed or contradicted by different managers within the same day. -The entire store operates in a constant state of uncertainty since no one can trust that instructions given today will still apply tomorrow, making it extremely difficult to function effectively.
