Could be worse.

Operations customer service representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Treated fairly well by management. Opportunity for bonuses. Could be worse (definitely better than cashiering at a grocery store)

Cons

Unsteady schedule, which can cause problems in personal life when trying to keep a social schedule or personal time. Not as bad for part time workers.

Alright place

Sales representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great co-workers, pay can be great if you hustle since its commission base, holiday pay, free food sometimes, great discounts

Cons

Schedule can be hard to work around. Had to work 10 days in a row before, sometimes night shift straight to morning shifts. Management was okay. Biggest thing would be interacting with multipule people everyday if you're not built for that.
