Job Requirements
Training is provided, but due to the stressful workload that is
placed on management, 60% or more is never completed.
|
Uppers
Access to inventory control,although 50% of the time it never is effective in
it's purpose.
|
Downers
There is a major overload of paperwork,most of which is redundant.
The company is obsessed with technology which in many cases
complicates the very simple process of selling merchandise. The
excess hours you work are expected,while at the same time if you
miss an hour or two you are expected to make it up.
|
Lifestyle
Dress code is casual, work hours are long(some overnights), devotion to the
company has to be a PRIORITY.
|
Compensation
Base salary is in the mid 40s. Bonus potential is minimal due to
the complex formulas used to determine elegibility in meeting
company standards. Benefits are the standard fare for retail.

Advice to Jobseekers
Unless you are willing to sacrifice your personal life in your
quest for a retail career, I would definitely look elsewhere.
