Great environment
Customer Service Associate (Former Employee), edmonton, alberta – April 8, 2013
The team was welcoming and you felt like part of a family. The pay was pretty low, and the hours were extensive. There were a lot of weeks I was working 10 or more hours of overtime. The hardest part of the job was the customers and some of the poor policies implemented by the company. You were constantly getting yelled at for things that were out of – more... your control. $11/hour just wasn't enough for what I was doing. My retail job in the mall pays that. – less

Pros: incentives to those employees who perform and are productive, e.g. gift cards, just acknowledging a job well done

I ensure from start to finish of every shift I am on, to replenish what merchandise needs to be placed on floor in a timely fashion. Ensure stock room is kept organized and excess merchandise is neatly stored. I enjoy working with all my co-workers and management alike. The most difficult part of the job is dealing with irrate customers. However, the – more... best part of the job is defusing an irrate customer and assisting the customer to the point where the customer is completely satisfied and grateful for my assistance and
thankful for my help. – less
