Pluspunten

The only pro was the pay rate. I started off topped out for the food clerk pay rate due to coming from a previous job with a similar pay.

Minpunten

NO ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE STORE AT ALL. Managers are constantly scrambling to make shifts work due to forced understaffing thanks to corporate riding them about payroll every single week. Very often employees would do whatever they felt like doing, even straight up walking away from their registers or work stations without notice, and there were no consequences for the effects this behavior had on their coworkers. The front end manager would rather spend her days in the office so she can watch the cameras or text on her phone than be on the front end doing her job. The store director does nothing to hold his employees accountable for their work ethic. Certain customers would regularly abuse, swear at, insult, and otherwise mistreat workers and we were NEVER allowed to ban them from the premises. The environment at this store was so toxic that after less than 2 years I was so deeply depressed that I could no longer function. I would not return to this job even if they doubled my pay. I have worked retail for almost 20 years and I can say with 100% confidence that this job was the worst I have ever had.

Pluspunten

Management was helpful and relaxed. Management would allow workaround with school-scheduling conflicts

Minpunten

Although management would work with school-scheduling conflicts, I signed up for part-time and they occasionally gave me 35-40 hour weeks.

Pluspunten

Friendly environment and great co-workers. Being a floral clerk was hands down my favorite customer service job I've worked. Made some nice friends working there, and the stress of work was easily handled because of the friendly people.

Minpunten

Seniority was definitely a thing. I was expected to take shifts that the other people didn't want until someone newer came along, and then I had seniority over them. Upper management for the store was also the worst. They would take credit for our department's hard work and shift blame onto us for oversights or actions on their part. Once I got promoted to admin, I saw how little they cared about their employees. They would make passing comments and openly admit to giving certain employees who were "problem people" bad shifts or deny their requests for days off. I was in charge of making the schedule and would be told not to give certain people the days they wanted that week, even if they were within their availability, just to make things difficult for them. They also don't promote from within. I was asked to be the interim manager when our manager went on maternity leave. I stepped up and took on manager duties despite not getting a pay raise. When my manager decided she wanted to move stores, she was hoping I would be given the role permanently. Instead, they decided to bring in someone from another store, and I had to train her to be a floral manager at ours. They did eventually promote me to store admin, but my passion was working in floral. I agreed on the promotion as long as I could still work in the floral department, but they eventually phased me out of that role. Literally tricked me into taking a promotion and then falling back on the terms we agreed on.
