Pros
Only positive I got out of it was the friends I made... I was training to be a lead( see con).... Regular customers were cool...Music was good at times.. Gained some experience..
Cons
I can go all day all long about how bad of a job this is: - The pay was minimum wage which was horrendous for the amount of work that I was required to do. -Benefits were nonexistent -Discount was crap compared to every other stores in the mall...20% really?? and you expect me to pay for the overly priced clothing that they sell(on occasion they had 40% but I have to buy only things i can wear to work). -Management was not fair at all never seen a case of favortism in a store so strong(I was favored by the way) -I was told I was going to train to be a lead 1 year later still no training for the position and then the company decides to eliminate that position(so no incentive to work hard. -We had to ask for the breaks and they never told us to take them so some shifts I would work a whole shift with no break -Management would get into our personal lives i hated that. -Calling off was a task they would never believe you even if you were dying -Call-in shifts sucked you had to plan your day around them. - They treated seasonal kids really bad(I was never a seasonal I was hired as a regular) I felt bad for them and tried to be as kind as possible to them. -Incompetent people were promoted to assistant managers. -If you didnt sell you will not get hours( I was always top sales this is my observation) Pushing us to sell like we make commission was retarded and the amount of money i would make made me furious with the little credit i would get -Made me do manager duties at times when the managers got lazy or procrastinated so much. - Sucked at training and developing people -I hated the walking out rule I'm a guy I dont carry a purse -The constant walkie communication was unnecessary... And the fact I was pestered to continue you spill my life story over the walkie was extremely annoying -Managers were never on the same page Like i said i can go all day and night with what i hated so i will keep it at this length so not to bore you guys
