Pros

Fun, fast-paced culture Always a lot going on Freedom to make valuable changes to processes within buying office Cool to learn about production; opportunities to sit with line producer Learn how the buying process works; sit in on vendor meetings Learn how item selection process works; sit in on promotional item meetings with senior management

Cons

Rather low pay As an MBA, hard to justfiy going back--difficult to know what options might be available for me there since a lot of their hires are straight out of college Unclear career path outside of buying and planning

Pros

Only pros - wfh and you get a nice discount

Cons

Everything else. Management/corporate have unrealistic kpis. You can only use the rr during your SCHEDULED break. You have to offer a sale to EVERY CALLER even if they are already upset. You can NOT hang up even if the customer is screaming/offending you. My manager once said I should’ve been more patient. Mind you the customer was already using foul language and belittling me. I POLITELY asked the customer to please refrain from using that kind of language. It continued and I told her I would have to release the call. Also you stop getting a raise after 2 years. You cap at $17/hr.
