Great schedule flexibility but poor management and communication
Pros
1. It was definitely a great perk being able to create our own schedules to some extent; 2. Working independently was great; Having several stores to go to and a variety of tasks made the job more interesting and fun, and you learn a lot.
Cons
1. Very difficult to complete tasks in the time allotted - you work a lot of hours for free. They tell you to stop and checkout at the end of time, however the app doesn't allow you to checkout. 2. Management was extremely lacking on management, leadership, and especially people skills. We never heard from heard. If we had a question, the answer was always "do the best you can". 3. Like I said, zero communication. When I first started I was apparently working my position, and covering another without knowing. I was very stressful and chaotic, although I chalked in up to just being new. Not so, It was from working two positions. When another person was hired 3 months later I all of a sudden lost a lot of hours. That's when I realized I was being used, and yes, I say used! If she would have explained to me when I started what the situation was, I would have had no problem, but when you put a brand new person in this situation and they are struggling, it would be a nice decision on the managers part to communicate the situation and reassure me that I am not going crazy.
