Part-time Holiday season work. Most co-workers, managers are good to work with. One long time assistant manager is a good trainer in all aspects of retail. One difficult co-worker with challenges was hired over the phone not in person, causes disturbances in the open Glad temp job only for me.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Pleasant and upbeat. Interviews should always be in person not on the phone.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Clothing quality and design has fallen. Prices do not. WHBM becoming just another clothing store.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Taught retail the correct way and this is only because of one assistant long time manager that cares enough to teach the trade of retail business which includes register, online orders, register, customer tact, careful business practice. No one else does there but this individual.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Everyone but one co-worker hired sight unseen over the phone out of holiday desperation. A manipulator and whiner, liar. Spends more time trying on clothes than actually working the shift assigned. Causes issues in front of customers for other co-workers and the store manager coddles to appease.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Most of these questions do not pertain to part-time workers. The part-timers in this timeframe of now are underappreciated by the upper echelons of the company. $10-$11 per hour workers is what is holding it together in the holiday rush. You are cheapening yourselves in many ways, quality and pay.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Not sure. As a long time customer also, I now see clothing quality and style go down a path that can be described as just another clothing store. Quality of material on some dresses and blouses cheap and wrinkles easily. Shoes are cheaply made with a high price tag. Customers are noticing.
