Business Outlook

Pros

Good discount that can stack on top of sales. Decent pay for level/difficulty of work (though nothing to write home about) Pretty flexible when it comes to accommodating scheduling needs.

Cons

Schedules are supposed to be release two weeks in advance—most of time we are lucky to get them three days in advance. Inconsistent communication and policies. Some managers will honor expired sale signs, some won’t. Some managers will sell floor models (if long restock time), some won’t. Makes it it difficult to provide good and consistent costumer services and to be confident when telling customers the policies. Management is not particularly willing to help out a lot of the time but gets upset when customers have to wait.
