The Brick Employer Reviews

the brick is a good place to make money but the culture is ver poor

8 hrs on your feet
how to sell
working on commisson
working with great people

The Brick was a good place to work, the in house computer system was so complex and because I could only work less than 15 hours per week it was not enough to keep me sharp using thier systems

This is a good part time job. They pay in commission so you better be a good sales person

selling furniture and add ons (brick cards and extended warrenties)
improved customer service skills
handling irrate customer
meeting new people and helping them with their needs

this job is not a reliable job and it has no future, the hours are not secured, poor management, not a safe working place if you go b y the health and saferty book

Work place is very friendly.
I have learned a lot working with the brick.
Great co-workers.

Some days were fast-paced, others not so much; ensuring that all merchandise that was being picked up was labelled, wrapped and ready for the customer; providing assistance to customers' vehicles with their selections; paperwork for same; some deliveries

over all this job is good if you get more commission other wise it's not for new

-Typically the days were full of interesting stories and great people.
-I learned a lot in terms of product details, benefits of products and energy star details.
-Co-workers were great and knowledgeable, always willing to help eachother.
-Hardest part of the day was the occasional long day with no customers.
-Most enjoyable part was when it was busy, – more... getting to help a lot of great people get what they want for their homes – less

Gained some management skills
Trained new employees
slow traffic in winter time hard to keep sales number high.

It's like a familly that you working with its a nice environement and the work it's sure heavy (couch,fridge,stove,washer,dryer,t.v.,matresse..ect) but i'm a hard worker and love working

I had alot of fun working there great people and a super flexible schedule to fit perfect with my schooling

I enjoyed working at the Brick and gained a lot of Experience in Sales but unfortunately i couldn't afford to work bases on commission after 3 month.

My typical day at the Brick consisted of making sure that if there were any messages left from the night before were called back. I would check my emails for any updates on parts orders and completed tech reports. If the phone happened to ring or if a customer would be at the counter I would help them. My main position was to insure that all the information – more... from the tech report were entered into the system and if the customer required follow up. I was to call them and arrange another service call or to inform them that parts were required and that they have been ordered.

For the management at the Brick. They are great but I feel like there is no where for me to grow with the company.

What I enjoyed about working for The Brick was the people that I worked with. – less

Typical day involved meeting a lot of people, negotiating.
management is nice and friendly.
co-workers are fun and can be aggressive when it comes to sales

Open furniture from ware house put out on main floor.Take sold furniture from main floor to ware house for customer pick ups. Being a team player is a must for this job you cannot lift some items by your self you need help from co workers. The hardest part of this job is when there is a lot of customer pick ups and heavy items you could hurt your back

Hated it. Heavily focused on sales, yet always throwing more work at managers for which we did not get paid any extra for. I got sick of spending 12 hour days there trying to stay on top of paperwork. Most salespeople lie outright to customers, but my manager wouldn't let me fire them because he hangs out with all of them. Salespeople are all lazy, – more... don't want to get off the furniture to make sales, let alone do anything else. – less

helped set up furniture for tent sales and prepare hotdogs, management was good, and just mostly manning the grill for most of the day

Each day would start with contacting customers, to set up and confirm delivery of their orders. Handled customer inquiries regarding back orders of products, investigated account confirming refund requests. Hardest part of the job Assisting Managers with customer conflicts. Most enjoyable part of the job was having so much variety in the daily task – more... list. – less
