          Pros

          You can make commission and it's fun.

          Cons

          It's messy, employees don't want to be there, and employers don't care. Company standards are not implemented, you can skip training basically. That makes for a bad team with people who would rather do things "their way" which means there is no consistency in customer experience.

                Pros

                Literally nothing is a pro here, maybe the hours if you're part-time and just looking for some pocket money.

                Cons

                Everything else. The management is does not accommodate to the employees. They expect you to work excessively for minimum wage while they sit in the back and do nothing. The managers also talk about everyone, but they will be very nice to your face.

                      Cons

                      - they do not have an advance pay system hence I was underpaid even with the help of asking 2 different managers I still was underpaid - they push a lot of pressure on you and hardly give you training you basically stuck on a tablet for training and then they push you on the sales floor

                        A lot to learn about customer service in Canada. Managers are cooperative and flexible as per your availability. Good pay .

                        Cons

                        Need strong physical strength to keep yourself on your toes for long hours. At times, you feel overburdened , specially at the time of season.

                      Do you experience that how long the hiring process would take at Thermo Fisher? I got my second interview with hiring manager at the beginning of November but I haven’t heard nothing from them. When I’ve emailed them to check in they just said that the process would be slow, no time frame. I would be able to get an offer soon from other company but work as contractor. Should I wait for Thermo Fisher?

                      Booz Allen Hamilton Recently applied and I've been referred for an interview! Any tips on interviewing with Booz Allen? And if I am being asked to complete clearance and background upfront, is this a good indicator for being hired?

                      Alex L.

                      Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
