Too Much Stress for Not Enough Pay

Merchandise coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There were lots of opportunities for growth and overtime pay. Medical benefits were also a plus.

Cons

The salary was not nearly enough to compensate for corporate's unrealistic expectations and deadlines. The company seems to be afraid of upsetting customers and lets them walk all over store employees.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good health isnruance some PTO

Cons

Misrepresent the joband subject new employees to ongoing harassment; no apparent accessible HR; poor training. Company has low standards of safety and any safety is cya only. Company is intolerant of new ideas or highly experienced emloyees bringing skillsets to the job.Store manager lied about accomodating me with a second job on the schedule.The web hotline reporting does not work and an observation mirror is used to spy on employees in the lunchroom.On the surface itis an upbeat positive company but all indicators suggest they do NOT think highly of the real people doing the hard work
