Well,
I worked for 15 years in corporate America...and then became a Realtor...so more or less I was always my own boss.
Next, I took a job at TDS because I was in love with the concept of being a CM...
The very very bad:
....never in my life have I seen worse pay. I think if I would have clipped a few coupons and did more buy 1 get 1 free I would have been more ahead than working there.
the things they made you do I was shocked by...example...after working register...straightening that horrible mound of stuffed animals for the millionth time...when the store closes...someone has to vacuum...are you kidding me?! Where I came from so to speak, there was a cleaning crew..I didn't know WE were the cleaning crew!!
Any time you left the store, break or lunch etc...they search your purse...which I found terribly demeaning...
I think bottom line is...I am not a retail person. It truly gave me a new appreciation for those who work in that field..I have no clue how you do it.
Plus....with DVC, the current employee perks, I didn't find all that amazing.
