Good work atmosphere
Green house assistant (Former Employee), Mead, WA – September 10, 2012
Pros: employees
Cons: schedule nightmare, lack of management
A typical day at Big R was walking around helping customers find products or selling them on certain products.

I learned alot about the retail job market and sales.

Management seemed to be a little lost, and frustrated.

Co-workers were great people to work with.

The hardest part of the job was helping customers with bad attitudes.

the most enjoyable – more... part of the job was working with the employees on bigger projects. – less
