So much cross-training, but no pay raise for all the extra work!

Customer service representative

Business Outlook

Pros

Coworkers were awesome to work with, some of the managers were cool, and on good days, the work would go quickly.

Cons

Hourly rate stays low even when cross-trained in several different front end areas, management can be somewhat critical, no shortage of negative customers, especially at the service counter, clopening is a regular occurrence.

Business Outlook

Pros

I hated the job when I worked in sales, and I quit bc I was miserable...I had a difficult time finding another job, and the GM offered me a position in the warehouse. I enjoy the work much more and I like that the pay is consistent in that position. I got a new job somewhere else but bc I like the gm so much I continue to work in the warehouse.

Cons

As a sales associate it sucked making a base pay of $4/hr with commission. I worked 12hr days 3hrs/day not even facing customers, it was extremely depressing and the sales manager would yell at me.
