Great merchandise. I enjoy selling the product and people are always pleasantly surprised by the items we carry. Where else can you buy food, furniture and wine in the same place? Most of the employees genuinely like each other and don't mind helping each other.
Minpunten
The salary is abysmal. Part timers get the same rate they got FIVE YEARS AGO!! Good grief, this is 2010!! The training is almost non-existant and what training there is is inconsistent. Different from day-to-day and store-to-store. The stockroom is an accident (lawsuit!) waiting to happen. I am so afraid a chair or table is going to fall on someone, I never like going back there. The job involves heavy lifting (don't think you won't have to load a sofa into someone's SUV just cause you're a "girl"!! Payroll Rules so there aren't a lot of employees in the store after 8:00pm to help with recovering the store. I never feel safe when it's dark outside. Why can't anyone teach us about the wine and beer department? A customer asks me about a red wine, and I never know what the heck to say! It makes us look stupid and I'm sure we lose sales to the other package stores in the area.
