Relaxed Workplace
Key Holder (Current Employee), North Wales, PA – May 29, 2013
Pros: relaxed work environment
Cons: compensation
My typical work day is busy. I come into the store. I need to straighten out the store and make sure everything is well organized. I check the sales that my other coworkers did the night before. The most enjoyable about my job is working with customers. I'm a very friendly and outgoing so I love talking to people. So I spend my whole time working talking – more... to my customers and build relationships. They love to come back. I've learned more about customer service. My manager is understanding and work hard. She's easy to get along with. My coworkers are great. They work as hard as I do and we will consider us as team members – less

Small fun store
Key Holder (Former Employee), Montgomeryville, PA – May 6, 2013
Pros: access to one of a kind collectibles, small store, carefree atmosphere
Cons: no room to improve, no benefits
Relieving co-worker of their shift. Learned to count down registers. management would leave a list of duties to get done. This job was a very easy job and nothing would be considered hard. The most enjoyable thing would be the customer who frequent the odd store.

I wish I could've worked there permanately
Habitat for Humanity Volunteer (Former Employee), Ann Arbor, MI – January 21, 2013
Pros: working hard and familiarizing myself with customer service in a retail setting
Cons: occasional hot summer days
The people there are bright and kind and very encouraging and it was my ideal job because even though it's not so much fast pace heavy lifting was involved when ever I was there and I got chances to provide customer service so Habitat for Humanity in my opinion really got me wanting to be a hard worker.

A good place to work that helps low income families
Truck Driver/ Customer Service (Current Employee), Newington, NH – October 14, 2012
Pros: pay rate and get to work at my own pace
Cons: no benifits
a typical day at work is I plan out my route for the day and leave by 9:30.
I have learned alot about how to run and manage a store the right way and the wrong way.
my co-workers for the most part are nice and I get along with them but they have there flaws such as being immature.
th hardest part of my job is that my managerdoes not understand how to – more... run the store and does not listen to his employee's and mis manages the store because he is trying to do to many things at once.
the most enjoyable part of my job is knowing that my work that I do for habitat for humanity is for a good cause. – less

An excellent company to start a career in Retail business
Home Accessories Sales Assistant (Current Employee), London, ENG – June 3, 2013
Pros: excellent working environment and accessible hours.
Cons: no commissions.
Working at Habitat has been an amazing experience. For my first job I can say I was very lucky to get the opportunity to work in there. It has a great management team and friendly colleagues. Since day one, I learnt how the system works in this retail business, from the origin of every product until the customer's serving experience. The hardest part – more... of the job was trying to deal with out of dates refunds, but with patience every difficult situation was resolved. The most enjoyable part of the job was the fact of establishing communicational relations with the public, giving them solutions and trying to make them feel at home. – less

Had a good time, just wasn't for me.
Assist customers (Former Employee), hamilton, ontario – April 17, 2013
Pros: enjoyed the people, liked the retail enviroment, gained retail experience
Cons: didn't know much about products they sold
I would volunteer at Habitat for Humanity ReStore. I enjoyed the other volunteers and employees. Everyone was friendly, and often I would complete a task while teaming up with another volunteer. Sometimes these tasks included putting an item together for display such as a gazebo or a BBQ. I enjoyed working with and assisting customers. If I wasn't on – more... the floor assisting customers or looking for things to tidy up on the shelves, or I would be in the back testing and opening donations to check it's condition to put it out on the shelves for sale. This volunteer position made me realize I am very interested in working with customers, and sales. Why it wasn't for me is they sold building supplies, doors, kitchens etc. I felt like I couldn't be as helpful as I should of been to customers, often having to ask someone else for help in answering a question. Though I did know my way around and would show customers were things were, and help to the best of my ability. – less
