I have a great work environment at my current location. Minimal stress.
Low salary
Below the industry average
Higher positions Not so much
My coworkers i work with daily!
The atmosphere of the environment the employees and the product we sell
No benefits for a part-time
Discounts on merchandise and food
I love the product and the connections I make with the community
Management can be a little bit disorganized and upward mobility is slow and challenging
Free books!!
I love meeting new people as well as being abreast of new books, the latest magazines. I love helping someone find just right the book or product. Additionally, the employee discount is a great benefit.
There are not enough people who work each shift, so I feel like I do is run around like a chicken with its head cut off. I can't possibly address all the customers' needs, and so every time I go in, it's frustrating. If someone calls off (which happens frequently), the whole night is over for the rest of us
Learning new things all the time!
