Lifestyle
The work hours are from 8:30-5:30 give or take 30 minutes. I do not travel in
this position. However, travel is determined based on industry and needs of the
company. We have a yearly Christmas party, celebrate when we reach our sales
goals, celebrate birthdays each month as a company and then as a department
(typically there is a gift, cake and a nice sit down lunch to a restaurant of
your choice), celebrate anniversaries with a lunch gathering. Our dress code just
changed from Casual Mondays to Casual Fridays. We are expected to dress
professionally as we are a clothing retailer. We don't have a diversity program
at this time but there is a wide varity of people working for the company. The
only advice I can give is to ask lots of questions during the interview process
to be sure you have a clear understanding of the company culture, mission, etc.

Compensation
My salary is $39K which is considerably low with my experience.
Keep in mind that industry (retail is notorius for low pay), size
of the company, and performance of the company as a whole plays a
critical role in determining your pay. Please negotiate and know
what your value is before accepting any offer. I have
med/dental, no bonuses, no stock options. My salary should have
been $45K just to give you an idea.

Advice to Jobseekers
Research, research, research. As mentioned before industry, size
of the company, and success of the company are critical. Make
sure you are armed with as much information as possible, this
will allow you to make a better decision. I know that a lot of
HR jobs are being outsourced but positioned correctly you would
be able to benefit from such moves. I love HR and plan to
continue on my path to success!
