Really strange job

Pros

- production team has a regular start time, no weekends - you can start earning bonuses are a few months if you meet quotas - benefits are available to full time staff - the co-workers are really nice and help each other out - we had a lot of pizza parties and potlucks

Cons

- physically and mentally demanding. A lot of the employees have various injuries from work and they are all stressed, a few had to go to anti-depressants to handle the stress from work - there is no scheduled end time, you're done when the quota is met or your team has logged too many hours which wrecks havoc with personal schedules - start at minimum wage - there are lots of loop-holes to get out of paying bonuses to new employees - very difficult to get full time employment, most people are part time, you can't get benefits and you have lower bonuses as part time - it's a really sketchy company, they keep the amount they pay to their community partners a secret, many things that are not sold are thrown in the garbage, and clothes are sold to third world countries which destroys their local clothing industry - the prices for items are arbitrarily made to meet a price quota, not necessarily because they're worth a lot of money and frontline staff are blamed for this, never management - my store gave wrong information about a worker's ability to refuse unsafe work by saying that if the health and safety committee found a work site to be safe, they had to return to work and didn't say they could appeal to the Ministry of Labour

Poor treatment of staff

Pros

I worked with some phenomenal staff in both the front end positions and the production position. The work required a lot of customer service tasks, meeting quotas, assisting customers with costuming, and other related duties.

Cons

Everyone was expected to be available on sale day which wasn't always feesible by the staff with families or other important tasks outside of work. As a result the employers would guilt trip the staff to get them to do things that were not possible. Furthermore, as production staff, if you spent too much time assisting customers when everyone else was busy or elsewhere, the supervisors had said that customer service wasn't a priority. Being that the entire business runs on sales and customer relations, the reaction of the employee was to quit.
