Stay Away.

Service clerk

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's being employed, but now with shorter hours. Still beats being unemployed.

Cons

Good work is ignored. Not rewarded. The company uses a contract company with Secret Shoppers & real customers are ignored. Store management constantly belittling & shouting @ workers on the sales floor. Very hostile work environment. Workers are pieces of machinery not human beings.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hours if you having understanding management. Easy transferring to other job openings.

Cons

You have to lay down the law and guidelines for your hiring, otherwise they will ride you for as long as they possibly can. The pay is pretty horrid for the amount of work. Typical hourly job expectations and restrictions.
