          Pros

          Flexible Hours, Great Discount Fun coworkers, made some great friends that have turned out to be my best friends

          Cons

          Also had some horrible experiences with other management. Harassment and being overworked by the FT SM, but this was specific to our store and this store rotated SM’s like it was crazy. Customer base to this area was also a little wild. Had fist fights in the stores over things like pops and loungeflys. Customers would verbally assault us during the height of the pandemic over masking policies. Due to the discount, most of your paycheck will likely go right back to the company with how little you get paid! You will get paid minimum wage, and then when you eventually crawl your way into lower management, you’ll make pennies above minimum wage. You’ll feel compelled to devote yourself to the company for some reason because of the push for company culture and your former interest in the store before becoming an employee. By the time you learn all the dirt on the company and get overworked on the horrible concrete floors, you’ll eventually not only hate yourself but the store! But hey! At least the discount is nice! And did you know that you’ve been pre approved for a hot topic credit card!

        Case Analyst

        Just venting: Is anyone else fed up with the usernames, passwords, authentication codes, email verification, etc.? Most hiring companies use workday, items, and Taleo but each company on those sites requires a different password. It is just another layer to the job search process.

        Project Coordinator

        I recently had an interview with a hiring manager. The conversation went well in my opinion and they ended it by saying they would “like to schedule a day for me to meet their team and get a feel for the projects they’re working on and then have the conversation about what I’m looking for as far as compensation.” I’m not sure what to expect from this, a part of me feels like this means they might want me for the role, but the process is a little unorthodox from my experience. Any thoughts?

        Does anyone know the competency based questions you’ll be asked for a Business Development Analyst role at Aon? I have an upcoming pre-recorded online video interview that I have to submit within 7 days.
