Pier 1 Imports Employer Reviews

Excellent benefits,Good pay I was a Material Handler 2 at the the time I was dismissed. I was told it was because of my points,but I never recalled getting a warning about my points at the time.

Meeting daily and weekly sales goals was challenging when traffic was down. Seeing regular customers on a weekly basis, who appreciate the staff and love our product was very rewarding
