farm and garden retail
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Carrollton, GA – April 11, 2013
Pros: great company and employees, variety of seasonal duties.
Cons: min. wage salary . rotation of saturday 1/2 day work.
Worked mainly as a retail sales cashier. Helped customers with buying selections, took payments on accounts, charged customers orders on accounts as required, cash handling, weighed trucks as needed, stocked store merchandise. I learned a great deal about feeds and fertilizers. It was a great place to work. I learned about ordering from suppliers and – more... stocking merchandise . I also learned about greenhouse work as I helped plant seedlings. The hardest thing about this job was the long hours. My daughter was 3 yrs old then and I wanted more time for her. – less

Poor Management
Customer Service Associate (Former Employee), Stephens City, VA – February 22, 2013
Pros: i enjoyed working with my co-workers and seeing the customers
Cons: management and long shifts without breaks
10hrs+ shifts with only 1 break
Had to work every Saturday which didn't leave much time for family
POOR management due to the manager texting all day and not doing his job what so ever which made it 10 times harder for the employees
Benefits were okay but not hardly good enough for what you had to put up with

Cookie exchange for Christmas and Pizza
Helpdesk Specialist (Former Employee), Richmond, VA – November 1, 2012
Pros: free lunches, when winning chili cook-off between the departments
Cons: no breaks, 1 hr lunch breaks, no group functions outings
Typical day's work's from the moment sitting at your desk, checking to see who hadn't run end of days work, or perhaps month or even if system has crashed or maybe even having dsl issues. So this is a typical work in the offical day. Phones are ringing needless to say working out all these issues but having to resolve issues with the department as well. – more... Adding new users, resetting passwords, rebuilding profiles. I've learned to do all of the above because I came from doing Collections which had been my field for numerous years so this was indeed a challenge for me, however a learning advantage in th Computer Field. Managment was good not always fair as fair was what the guys could do opposing as to what the ladies could or could not do, so we had a problem with that. The job itself was never easy but we made it easy because we all got along well we made it fun as much as possible, on a quiet wonder we would chit chat and make the most of what time we had and say all is good. – less

I liked the job
warehouse associate/stocker (Former Employee), Petersburg, VA – April 17, 2012
Pros: organized the warehouse by departments
Cons: no benefits, only part time
My boss was too nice and his employees took advantage of that. He always told me I was a good worker but I was only part time, with no future. They had some very serious safety issues in the warehouse that made me uncomfortable. He offered me a position (still part time) working up front but you could never find the guys in the back to help the customers – more... so, I manually loaded their vehicles quite frequently. I resigned a few months after my Father passed away. – less
