Vantaggi
Good for young people Excellent resume building opportunity If you suck up real hard, you'll never leave. Great food! Fun environment! You get to dress up. Employee costume rental during Halloween! Employees are encouraged to be friends and management will hire people you refer to them. Employee Discounts Overtime is readily available for production. They do give to a local non profit, but this company is openly For Profit which is an honest thing for this company to boast.
Svantaggi
If you suck up real hard, you'll never leave. Production Teams are not up to OSHA safety standards in my opinion. Want a disease? Try stabbing yourself with a tagging gun repeatedly because YOU MUST meet quota. Junkie needles and human fecal matter while sorting. Want endless overtime and zero work/life balance? Try production! I was sick WAY more often that year working at Value Village than I was before or since. Very dirty! Harassed by members of production management, left in tears on many days and I am not a wimp! (Sexual & Verbal harassment) No regular raises. Management procrastinates on purpose so you can't move up. Favoritism among employees/management who are sexually attracted to one another. Work could be a nightmare in the morning. (6am store organizing)
