Pros
I would say the best part of my job as the HR Representative was being able to meet new and exciting people with interesting stories on a frequent basis. I also enjoyed being able to offer jobs to individuals who really needed a position.
Cons
Micromanagement from Corporate Disrespect from Corporate being asked to "spy' on other HR Representatives and to tattle (hated being asked - usually when asked I would just say "well nothing has been said on chat." Terrible pay for associates, feeling absolutely awful not being able to advocate for them more. The HR job was more of a babysitting position, most of true HR duties were not my responsibility. Not being able to have any vacation days until after 1 year of service while being part of management. Being threatened that my job would end if we did not get the turnover under control. How can you get turnover under control when all you are willing to pay associates is $9.00 - $10.50 and these associates are berated by so many people over the phone it tears them down. I left home every morning dreading going to work and I was at work every day hating my job. I finally got out after only 9 months, while I wish the best for the company I truly think the CEO should rethink who he has in Corporate Positions as they are rude people who have no compassion for their employees.
