Pros

Great company to work for. I was a seasonal worker so they cut you right before Christmas. Hours are part time when you first start and 6 hour shift but when the holiday season ramp up, you get full time hours and can sign up for over time shifts. I worked from October 2018 to December 2018 and was a Chat representative so I only chatted with customers and did emails which is WAYYYY easier than being on the phones with them all day. I applied for them again this year but I did not pass the assessment which sucks and they are strict with that. This time around is great because the position is Work from home and its like $22/hour.

Cons

Only worked for two months Had to come in to work physically the location is way out in Sunset park, not a lot of transportation over there except for the R train

Thank you for submitting your feedback on your time with Uncommon Goods from 2018. We thank you for the contributions you provided and are grateful to hear from you again. As you noted, our Customer Service Team is currently working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we are a seasonally based business model and cannot accommodate more shifts or longer duration as our demand isn’t quite the same as it is during the holiday season. However, we do hope to reach that point someday. As for perks and benefits for the seasonal team, I would love to hear your thoughts on some suggestions you may have as to what can be offered. We currently have a reward & recognition program for our top performers, attendance bonuses, and an end of season job fair to help our seasonal team find longer-term positions and opportunities. We also provide our team members a discount on all UG products. Please do email hr@uncommongoods.com if you have more suggestions on these thoughts and how we can better improve the experience.
