Pros
My peers are wonderful, hard-working, dedicated people who have gone far above and beyond... We took a rough start up, and ran! We succeeded...
Cons
We succeeded despite, or maybe it's in spite of, very little training. Extremely long days. Outright lies, from corporate, to ESthat we have to take the heat for. No actual recruitment, but CS are responsible for the recruiters not recruiting. Insane, immediate action emails, sent in the middle of the night. Insane application pool, due to non recruiting, forcing us to hire inferior employees we can't manage or get rid of. Can't keep the few good ES we have because we can't give them any raise or incentive, unless it came out of our pocket. Yes, ES, your boss pays for what little incentive you do get. Unrealistic goal expectations for event execution. Hello, perfection isn't possible! No escalation when Sam's Club managers force your teams to work in unsafe conditions, or won't follow their end of the contract, at club level. Very little HR support. None on the critcal days we actually work. No ability to take an entire day off. Benefits are a joke. You want me to wear what!?! I don't think so! No way to keep event schedules stable, to be able to schedule ES fairly. Big coherences, just to tell us we can't ask questions, (Guess what Sam's corporate, questions were "planted", but you probably knew that). Open Door policy is a joke. We are flat out told not to talk to anyone above our direct supervisor, and not to give contact information to ES. I seriously could go on.... All this for a 30,000ish salary; I average 60 hours per week.
