Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the great work! :)

Pros

laidback, flexible, fun, if you are new to the city this is a fast way to meet new people. it's easy to get hired.

Cons

not enough communication, no direct answers, injustice, no room for advancement, poor pay, disrespect from management, raises are hard to acquire even if you've put in the time, if you leave or are fired expect personal resentment or hostility. as far as pay goes, the employees at this store have to be the cheapest paid within the neighborhood. pay does not compensate for the amount of work you endure. you end up taking on everyone else jobs and drama if you are not careful. the turnover rate in retail is already ridiculous as it is, but here it's beyond.

Advice to Senior Management

Temp jobs offer opportunities for you to build on your network, attend training events, conduct informational interviews and even, when appropriate, enhance your social life with all the new coworkers you meet. Approach your temp experience as an opportunity to shine. Many regular employees see temps as people who don’t really care or who may even make their jobs harder. Show that you are willing to go above and beyond to get the job done. Offer to assist with projects to demonstrate your skills. This will help if you are later being considered for a permanent position.
