Pros

Fast paced environment, every day is different, it's never boring. Always lots of events going on: celebrity meet and greets, sample sales, new product launches. There is always something going on. There is a lot of room for growth here bad opportunities to move around. Employees are encouraged to move around within the company and learn about new businesses. I felt like I was making a direct impact towards the goals of the company.

Cons

Can be really stressful, Merchandising requires a lot of extra hours depending on who you work for. Sometimes it's easy to get burned out. Work life balance can be a real challenge. Planning does a better job with work life balance initiatives than Merchandising does.

Pros

Only pros - wfh and you get a nice discount

Cons

Everything else. Management/corporate have unrealistic kpis. You can only use the rr during your SCHEDULED break. You have to offer a sale to EVERY CALLER even if they are already upset. You can NOT hang up even if the customer is screaming/offending you. My manager once said I should’ve been more patient. Mind you the customer was already using foul language and belittling me. I POLITELY asked the customer to please refrain from using that kind of language. It continued and I told her I would have to release the call. Also you stop getting a raise after 2 years. You cap at $17/hr.
