Pros

Easy, Fun, Fast Passed, Discount, Awesome Coworkers. I was a seasonal gift wrapper, and it was a very easy job. You got set up at your little station and just wrap and label. Gift wrapping is such a mindless task, it was nice to chat with the other employees while you worked. I never had a problem with a customer or other employee. I also thought the management was very nice and friendly.

Cons

Until the actual Christmas shopping picked up, the gift wrap area could be slow. Women must wear skirts. It is a dated practice that seems a little sexist. I would much rather have had a uniform than wear skirts.

Pros

Nice atmosphere. Friendly co-workers. Pleasant customers for the most part.

Cons

Good job for young singles or others with no family demands. Not good for anyone with young children because of scheduling.

Pros

None, except made good friends and learned that everyone was miserable. Also, the job held me over until I found one that respected me as an employee.

Cons

Dress code-skirt and hose (even when unloading freight); cant be 1 minute late to work OR back from lunch; TESS (scheduling system) allows no flexability for schedule changes or requests (yes, people have lives outside of VM); not allowed to call anyone in to work, if a call out occurs; lack of concern of safety of staff (recent car jacking but not allowed to discuss)-does anyone remember the incindent in Oklahoma years ago?; no use of PC's for communication with team; and management always "goes by the book" until a customer needs a refund-they they are free giviing of cash even if item is returned in poor condition (and at the embarassment of the employee that just said no to the refund).
