Great professional environment.
Department Store Manager (Former Employee), Flushing, NY –
Pros: paid holidays and benefits.
Cons: hourly paid. some times cut my work hours.
Putting out merchandise from stock room to floor and sell, sell, sell. I learned to be top of my game ever day every time. Management team, co-workers, and staff work together on how to improve sales and service. The hardest par of my job was closing the store at 10PM and open the store at 7AM. But what I enjoy the most is making customers feel good – more...  about their self, service, and purchase. – less

Fun place to work, I like to shop
Sales Associate/Greeter (Former Employee), New York, NY –
Pros: employee discount
Cons: standing for 5 or 6 hours straight
Depending the time of the year it was, during the holidays it was very hectic and busy. My co-workers were great people and funny. The hardest part of the job was standing on your feet for long periods of time. The most enjoyable part of my job was shopping and getting my employees discount.
