Where do I start? I'll take my time and name each issue, one by one. Here we go:
1. They RUSH you through the modules. Do not explain things effectively and then try to make you feel like you're slow or low on intellect because of their poor training.
2. Their system glitches regularly! They will blame your internet speed.
3. They pick and choose who they want to help.
4. You will be expected to retain policies on all of the stores they represent. That means you have to remember how each store functions.
5. They tell us the customers are to be treated like royalty because they are paying so much but they speak to us like we're trash.
In conclusion: I've worked from home before and this was the WORST training and support (or lack of it) I've ever received.

Great place to work! I love cooking and baking so its right up my alley, i was working seasonal a few years ago and got into a bad car accident and was welcomed back open arms. My manager Justin is very good about giving me hours as much as he can, the company does only allow so many hours in a week but he tries his best.
I am thrilled about my job. I have been with the company for 2 years and I am truly happy. Some things could be better as with every company but overall, they do have decent benefits and the coworkers are really helpful and nice! Great company to work for!
