      I have been working at Pier 1 Imports part-time

      Pros

      Fun place to work, lots of opportunities to be creative when merchandising the store. Customers over all are fun to work with and design for.

      Cons

      Asking young girls to unload trucks full of furniture multiple times a week. Hire stock associates or schedule people who can unload the truck without injuring themselves! Spread out who gets the 5am hours, don't just give it to one person...

      Pros

      great people and product, employee discount is pretty good and benefits are standard, fun atmosphere

      Cons

      expect too much for the pay, lots of physical labor, workload is unreasonable considering resources available

      Advice to Management

      work on developing your management first because it's almost impossible to handle the task load on your own

      I worked at Pier 1 Imports part-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      Working with all types of items that I love and purchase for my own home and find beautiful and easy to sell to others. The ladies that have helped me when in stores are closer to my age and I have found them so very helpful and happy to help. I would enjoy working with a group of women like this.
      The locations of several of the stores are very convenient for me.

      Cons

      No cons I can think of at this time. I would do my time before any advice. Pier 1 is one of my favorite stores to frequent.

      Advice to Management

      I would have to work there to give any constructive advice right now.
