Pros
Coworkers very smart, capable, hardworking, cool people. Generous employee discount Excellent initial training Not having to check in with a manager before making a customer happy Learned a lot about organization and storage solutions
Kontras
Very demanding physical labor While the discount is awesome, you won't make enough to afford most of the products Must pretend you believe in the corporate Kool-Aid enough to fly under the radar and do your job without being harassed Constant pressure to sell Elfa, whether customers needed/wanted it or not Impossible to have any continuity with your work hours (work until 10pm, then come in at 4:45am the next morning for a merchandise processing shift? Awesome! Who needs sleep?!) Management style is very passive-aggressive Management/FT MP shift leaders constantly micromanaging for the sake of micromanagement
