Anyone had MAGIC Training yet? Oh what a fucking joke. When the manager training us showed us these graphs of how the sales were declining I wanted to say "that's what you get when you have a shitty company, motherfuckers!"
Anyway this place will hire anyone, which is probably why I was hired. I was a naive, college freshman looking for a job to pay for textbooks/gas money. If I had known the horrors this store had waiting for me... Well, I don't know if I would have applied.
Most of the managers are nice people. A customer was yelling at me one day and a manager had my back, she was very nice. However there is one manager that is a nightmare. I swear, she needs to get fired or at least put in her place. Fat blonde lady who looks like Miss Piggy stuffed in a black hippie skirt. Watch out for her, she's nuts.
Anyway, don't expect to get properly trained when you start here. Sure, you do the POS training but that's it. I was thrust on the sales floor all by myself without a buddy in the children's department all by myself. It was bullshit and I didn't know what to do. Shit, I still don't know what to do. I'll probably be fired one of these days just because I'll fuck something up and not know it.
I should be grateful, it has paid for my textbooks. But it get's pretty miserable. The same bitchy manager was flipping out during our "morning meetings" because we only had 20% employee participation which meant only 20% of the sales people met their goal. I had worked the previous day and I spent two hours talking to employees because no customers were in our department. This place is pretty close to slave labor. The same manager is says, "you can't stand at the register! Go make connections with customers!"
What customers?
Good luck working here, it's pretty miserable. Don't listen to them when they want you to shove those credit cards up their ass. Just get in, get out, get paid. Seriously, good luck and I hope you have a better experience than me.
