Cons
CULTURE OF FEAR - upper management walks around and looks over your shoulder. We actually got an email stating that management "doesn't want to see us socializing." It disgusting. If you don't meet the unrealistic goals each week, you get reprimanded. Some people get so worried about making the goals that they make up extra things to fill the gaps (basically, they lie). Weekly quizzes - if your four week average is under 70%, it's an automatic warning. You can also get a warning if you're late, or if a customer complains about you (whether the complaint is legit or not), and the third warning gets you fired. That's only if you're a permanent employee, though. Temps can get fired for no reason at all - I've seen it happen. Management tallies up our numbers and announces them at weekly departmental meetings, which only makes those who are struggling feel worse because we're constantly being compared to one another. Those who get the best numbers, or the "extra mile" get a gift card. Big whoop. How about a raise? We are constantly being given more responsibilities, but we never get any compensation. We're expected to instantly become experts on new products and procedures, and if we do it wrong because we were improperly trained, we are reprimanded. While this isn't technically the company's fault, we often get yelled at, sworn at, and once I even had a customer tell me that I'm a "worthless piece of ****," and that I should be fired for "being useless and stupid." This job is NOT worth the low pay and minimal benefits.
