it was nice having a hands on job but the pay was not worth all of the work that you do

I started working here in April 2012. I liked working here. Management was professional and very nice. I was pregnant at the time I was working here and they never gave me any hassle about my schedule. They even provided me a stool for when I got too tired to stand. The only thing I hated about the place is that some of the employees caused a lot of – more... drama. – less

A typical day for me is to make sure certain items are on the floor and are signed correct. making sure paperwork is done before and after closing. Providing great customer services to all customers.

The hardest part of the job to me is trying your best to pleased those customers that likes confrontation. I enjoy meeting new people everyday and love the compliments how good our store looks. – less

A typical day at work consisted of providing the best customer service possible, and moving in a fast paced environment

Meeting new people (customers), new product information, which fun and caring manager I get to work with. Most employees are dependable and pull their weight. Hardest part of my job is recovery. Break time.

As a former manager I applied for a management position, and even though the position was open, I was offered an associate position. I had just moved back into the area, and with the job market as bad as it is, I took the position.
This was a typical retail job. I arrived, got a register and helped out around the store doing various things until needed – more... at the register. Sometimes scheduled at 4am to catch up on stocking, something not done at my previous store.
The people I worked with were friendly but I left due to the lack of hours per week. – less

A typical day at work involves performing miscellaneous tasks that need to be done around the store, including stocking and moving merchandise, assembling display furniture, and assisting customers with their items. I learned that making mistakes is okay as long as you learn from them and understand why they happened so you can avoid them in the future. – more... The management is supportive, understanding, and helpful, as were the co-workers. The hardest part of the job was adjusting to sudden changes from day shifts to night shifts. The most enjoyable part of the job was helping customers find what they were looking for and seeing them leave happy. – less
