I felt there was a lot of bait and switch happening from the minute I had accepted my job offer. They dangled a different position to get me in the door and then put it off until after the holiday season and it turned out the position was never an option when I spoke to the head of Custom Dec. I was very specific about my hours of availability during the week due to family and other work constraints and was constantly scheduled when I couldn't work and had to wait until the last minute to find out if changes had been made. Because of recent changes in company management, there were new policies constantly rolling out and customers tended to be angry over the progressive sales (which forced them to spend more money to get discounts) as well as coupons not working on anything kitchen or clearance. Often the POS systems would go down and management did nothing to get them repaired in a timely fashion, which is a nightmare during the holidays and tended to not be apologetic to the customers when long waits for assistance resulted. At the end of the season, I was let go with no real reason given except that they couldn't keep the new hires but they kept on a girl in the same department who missed work often, took excessive breaks, had a more restrictive schedule, and wasn't experienced in the least so I suspect it was due to money because I was more experienced and made almost $2 more hourly than she did.
