Having come from the telecomminucations – more... industry, working here exposed me to the retail fashion industry.
There are a lot of loyal, long time employees who have been with the company for many years. There are also a lot of former Sprint employees here, so there were many people whom I was already aquainted with from my years at Sprint.
The hardest part of the job for me was the long commute, 60 miles each way.
The most enjoyable part of the job were the friendly and supportive co-workers I had the pleasure of working with. – less

i started decasing and packing shoes and worked my way up to shipping.I know every phase of the company thanks to management and HR.they have given me every opportunity to learn. co-workers are very friendly and helpful to work with. the hardest part of the job was to get used to packing shoes...was hard on the hands from handling the big boxes.

The most enjoyable part of the job is when you are able to help consumers and they are truly happy and thankful. The hardest part is when they call in extremely upset already and don't give you a chance to help them. The co-workers are enjoyable and easy to work with. They are always willing to lend a helping hand when you need it. The management is – more... great. Their office doors are always open and they are flexible when need be. What I learned was to not let the small things that are uncontrollable get to you. Ultimately, you make the choice on whether or not to let the situation upset you. A typical work day is mainly about answering consumer calls and problem solving to the best of your ability when need be. – less

You would come in have your meeting. atahen go straight to depending on what part of the warehouse you worked in. The only bad part of the job was when it was hot outside it was even hotter in there.
