Pros

Easy to get hired here

Cons

This one woman had 5 different employees walk out on her. She has no business managing anyone. She has terrible bedside manner, is extremely aggressive, and poor social etiquette. She uses back handed compliments, negging, and manipulation tactics on employees. Apparently a surprise and tragic death in a family warrants only one reaction from her: it was inconvenient considering she was supposed to go on vacation. This woman makes every situation about herself. She lies to her supervisors and to her employees. This experience was the epitome of toxic work culture. She refused to hire anyone male and verbally confirmed she was biased in favor of the more elderly as she felt they were more desperate for money and would work harder. Shameful, shameful behavior from someone in an authority position.

Pros

This job was a dream come true. I love the atmosphere, what the company strived for, the cute displays. I didn't even mind the fast paced work and constant overbearing work-load. I thought it was fun, a constant race against time against the new truck that would come and clog our backroom the next week. This place paid me very well but only because of the STL that hired me in believed in hiring for retainment and offered a great starting pay.

Cons

Confused Corporate. They would constantly send two or three different display sets and then decide all of them were supposed to go in the same place yet not allow mixing of sets. The culture is incredibly cliquey, if you're not in with upper management, you're out. You will get the cold shoulder, they will refuse to speak to you. If you perform poorly in their eyes you will hear about it but only because upper management thought it was appropriate to approach part-timers and associates instead of communicating directly. It's incredibly childish and high-school like.
