Horrible Management
Sales Representative (Former Employee), San Bruno, CA – February 27, 2013
A typical day at work consists of maintaining a welcoming and clean environment.
I have learned how to provide good customer service.
The management did not care about their employees. We had no workers compensation.
The hardest part of the job is dealing with difficult customers.
The most enjoyable part is learning how to work as a team with my coworkers.

An experience
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Hayward, CA – December 17, 2012
I loved many of my co-workers here , however management wasn't as great. I found it it difficult to balance school with having a job here, the manager wasn't as accommodating. Another issue I had was our manager didn't keep tabs on each of our duties and if one person messed up we would all get the blame and sometimes written up. The job itself was – more... not very challenging and was fun helping customers.It was an experience to learn from and I was grateful to have the opportunity. – less

Very friendly place. Best place to find great food at low price.
Assistant Customer Service Manager (Former Employee), Carrollton, VA – December 2, 2012
Best part of my job was the people I got to work with, and the customers I got to help. My management time was wonderful they all felt like good friends to me. Worked very well with each other. Most days at work after email, we would talk about our duties for that day and just coast through the day. The hardest part of this job would have to be the – more... hours. Very hard to have family time, and work here. What I learned made me ready to always move up to the next spot. – less

Productive and energetic work place
Customer Service Assistant (Former Employee), Haymarket, VA – August 30, 2012
Pros: greate management, flexible hours, never boring, there was always work to be done.
Cons: short breaks, system crashes, improper input of sales merchadise prices.
Bloom was a good work place. The work environment is very cultural with room to improve and grow in different positions. I really enjoyed working for this company. Co-workers were very friendly and helpful. I learned how to present myself to customers. The hardest part at times were when systems would go down especially during transactions. Mangement – more... was very helpful and managed things very professionally. Managers were always involved with employees and if ever there were issues with scheduling they were very flexible.

I learned customer care and how to give customers greate service. The most enjoyable part about working at bloom was being able to learn how to multi-task between being a cashier and also getting carts and having to do other assigned duties. – less
