Pros

The job itself is not hard but the people make it much more difficult than it needs to be. Getting a paycheck. I got promoted twice in a year because the job is that simple. Seriously, a well trained monkey could do it

Cons

If you hate your position you're screwed because you get locked in that position for 6 months before you can apply anywhere else in the company. Attendance/point system which makes it almost impossible to miss work for any reason. You literally need perfect attendance for a full month in order to get half a days worth of PTO. Feels like a daycare for adults and some of the employees act like middle schoolers. It feels extremely disorganized at times and unprofessionalism from management is just as frustrating as unprofessionalism from representatives. The pay system (5 business days after the 1st and 15th) is very inconvenient considering how much you're paid hourly the employees would be better off on a biweekly or weekly pay schedule.

Pros

Pay. That was it. The pay rocked, but you probably won’t see it for long because they’ll fire you before your third paycheck.

Cons

No job security, lack of professionalism, horrid HR, and on the spot termination without cause. There was a lot of workplace drama that included management, and HR thought it was a good idea to put a serious couple into our class which just made even more drama, and even less to people getting fired for no reason.

Pros

Decent base pay for the area Decent training Holiday decorating

Cons

Completely toxic work environment Zero room for advancement Ebbs and flows of work (can be very boring) Bad benefits (even though they're free) Very obnoxious rules (you can't put your coat on the back of your chair) An employee requested 3 days off due to a direct family member passing away. A month later they got a negative performance review for taking the time off. One of the Directors is best friends with one of the supervisors inside and outside of work. They constantly gossip about employees with one another, to the point multiple individuals noticed. The Director constantly comes over to the supervisor's desk and doesn't talk about anything work related. They also don't make any attempt to hide what they were doing because multiple people could hear them. It was also reported many times to the company's version of HR (HC) and nothing was done. You could tell because after being reported the behavior persisted.
