Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the timing of your employment ending was difficult. As a seasonal workforce, staffing levels are adjusted based on business needs, and while we aim to provide as much notice as possible, there are times when changes must be made quickly. We understand this can be disruptive and appreciate your sharing how it affected you. We’re grateful for the work you contributed and wish you success moving forward.

A serious waste of time

Hourly associate

Business Outlook

Pros

I honestly can’t think of any..

Cons

Don’t waste your time, even if seasonal. You’ll only be scheduled 9-12 hours a week, which is a joke. This location is ran horribly. If management doesn’t like you, you’re done. They all need to grow up and learn how to put people where they excel, instead of making those they don’t like miserable.
