A fun place to work with good people to work with.
Collections Manager (Former Employee), Atlanta, GA – March 14, 2013
Pros: relaxed time schedule
Cons: no healthcare, no 401k, no direct deposit
A typical day at HBC was very fast paced and productive. It required for each employee to be very dedicated to his/her queue. Although it the ability to focus is also a requirement, laughter was always needed as well.

As a Collection Manager, the hardest part of the job was being able to keep employees motivated while battling the knowledge of the – more... company being in a poor financial situation. It was through this time that I learned not only about managing people, but I learned the importance of patience and understanding – less

Not bad, but entirely too exclusive.
General Laborer (Former Employee), Washington, PA – March 9, 2013
Pros: tons of hours, good pay, relatively easy work
Cons: no communication between management, looking for reasons to fire, excessively strict attendence policy
I worked here for a period of four months, the time it generally takes for a full time employee to join their Teamsters Union however when I was just a week away from joining I accidentally cut my thumb through their "Kevlar" protective glove. It wasn't bad and as I was cleaning it out one of the senior union members reported it to management and a – more... huge deal was made out of it. In the end it wasn't even considered to be an accident and I was free to continue working. A few days later I received a call telling me not to show up for work as my employment was up for review due to unsafe work practice and a week letter I was sent a letter informing me of my termination.

The job itself can be a bit overwhelming at first but once you get the hang of it you'll be making your productivity quota in no time and despite my beef with their ethics the pay their was good and they allowed as much overtime as you could ask for which is a nice commodity. – less

Beauty Advisor (Current Employee), North York – October 15, 2012
Pros: we have an hour lunch and a thirty minute break and co workers are amazing to work with
Cons: we have to go over and beyond in some occasions which can be challenging
The Bay is all about customer service and making customers leave happy. Hardest part of this job is to satisfy everyone especially when you have to deal with multiple customers at once due to low staffing on some occasions. I enjoy dealing with customers and helping them find what they need and also providing additional information about a product and – more... anything they are inquiring about that relates to what they are looking for. It is a multitasking job because you many tasks to accomplish and do it in a certain time frame. I enjoy working with my co-workers because we are like a family and we help each other when we are in need of help. To go over and beyond to help customers. – less
