Pros
It’s a paycheck. That’s all I can say. I’d be happy once I leave this god forsaken place of rubber shoes!!
Cons
1. Pressured to sell their croc shine 2. Pressured to sell high priced socks (who would pay $10 for a 3 pack of socks) 3. Pressured to sell reusable bags (tbh it’s ugly and you can get ones at the grocery store that hold up better) 4. Overworked 5. Unappreciated 6. Underpaid 7. Understaffed (and it is for a reason folks) 8. No matter what you do it’s always wrong 9. Pointless monthly reviews... you’re to blame on what customers don’t want to buy. 10. Kudos app... what stupidity!! I honestly don’t care about some stupid little pat on the back bs!! I rather have money not some imaginary reward!! Imaginary rewards don’t pay my bills! Oh they’ll tell you it’s for “potential promotion opportunities”... yeah right! The only way you get a promotion is if you’re a brown noser and that’s something I refuse to be! 11. If you have to hurry through 50 boxes of shipment and don’t fill.... OH MY GOD!! You hear how it’s all wrong and how you made more work for someone else.. what insanity! 12. High pressure but no nice reward... if that’s your thing then go ahead and apply!! I wish I learned that sooner!! 13. High turnover 14. Wants you to smother customers but then say you spend too much time with them?!?!?! (Contradicting much?!?) 15. Favoritism 16. You’re blamed for stuff you didn’t do!! “Accountability” they preach! HA! What nonsense!! I was blamed for shoes being in the wrong place from Friday when I was over at my other job.... 17. Been told to put coupons on orders to sell customers shoe care they didn’t even want or ask for! (I’m sorry but that’s unethical.. surprised LP hasn’t came in on that yet) 18. Had to hear how the store was over in hours but management didn’t want to be held accountable over the fact that I didn’t get a break!! 19. Managers will try to give you a psychoanalysis as to why you can’t make customers buy socks, croc shine and a cheap plastic bag... (I wish I were kidding with y’all.. happened to me) 20. Corporate doesn’t even know what they want.. and the company will pay the price!! But they won’t listen.. why you ask? Simple it’s the selective “accountability” they preach about. 21. Managers will have you nearly interrogate the customer and pressure them into buying stuff they don’t want, need, ask for, like, and uncomfortable!! Just so they can steal YOUR sale and act like they did the work. 22. Cliquey 23. Wants you to be competitive over sales... ummm no I’m not fighting with my coworker over a piece of plastic or a sponge for that matter!! That’s idiotic!!! If you want me to act like I’m on commission then... maybe here’s an idea.. ACTUALLY PAY ME COMMISSION!! 24. I’ve had coworkers complain over how I got more sales than them but I was actually with customers while they were powwowing in the back doing nothing.. 25. Hostile work environment... Sorry for the long list.. I could go on for all eternity but I’ll spare you.
