What is the best part of working at the company?
The customers 
A wide variety of people that you can learn from.     The company is very unappreciating of there employees   and pushes & pushes for sales and No Thank you . Very  Ungreatful.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Soo much to do .  Alot of work . Always working by myself.  Always only one person working per day per shift.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stress full . Always   do everything on computer, sales , we should get paid more because of stealing and security won't  arrest unless they see it happen. It takes 10 to 15 minutes  sometimes 20 minutes to get there. Sooo much stealing

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy. Busy .busy. busy. Busy . Always working Bymyself .   Alot to do for what they pay.

The management was horrible. Unreasonable and I didn't enjoy the people I worked with. One older man they hired was a dangerous Predator. 
Also my shifts were usually 3pm-9:30pm 
And I had to take the bus which was fine ticket to work but I also needed the bus to get home and they would always schedule me to work in the evenings and I ended up always happening to walk home because I was kept after the last bus would leave the mall and I'd end up having to walk home because there would be no other bus coming and that would really suck when it's winter time or raining. I tried to talk to management about it but it was of no use.

At first this job was enjoyable when I started however, if you plan on getting trained for a higher position such as a manager don't bother wasting your time because that's what I did. I got trained for 3 months and then ran the store for a month without getting officially paid as a manager and then head office brought someone else in just because of seniority. This whole company is cheap and doesn't care about their employees they just put on a show when you meet them and act like you're appreciated and all they care about is the money.

•	Promotes sales by demonstrating merchandise and products to customers.

•	Maintains a safe and clean store environment by developing and publishing evacuation routes; determining and documenting locations of potentially dangerous materials and chemicals.

A typical day would be me answering the phone. Dealing with customers face to face. Doing cash fill in if necessary. Got along with all of my co-workers and Management. The hardest part of the job was helping customers who were not particularly happy. The most enjoyable part of my job was helping the customers and seeing them happy with a purchase or refund.

About 45 customers would enter the store per day maybe 55 sometimes if they get lucky. Some coworkers were very nice and others not so much. Employees got really bored, it was like we were dragging our bodies around the store trying to find something to do all the time because of such low customer activity, there was rarely anything to do.

Designer Depot was a great place to be able to interact one on one with customers to provide them with a comfortable shopping experience. Negative impact on the staff and or workplace was the unorganized functions from head office. Receiving inventory later then expected, missing sales that effected our profit.

Working alone for 8/hrs in a 10,000sqft store. When hired, the manager at the time was hired one week prior and given no training and we ended up having to figure out all the systems on our own. Our hours were cut drastically with no warning or explanation on why. Working there was just no a pleasant time and had 0 help from head office.

Working at Designer Depot was a very fun experience, the management and also my co-workers were very laid-back but they also got the job done at the end of the day. The regional manager, however, was very strict and very precise on what he wanted to see and how he wanted people to act

Retail helps you in every aspect of life.It teaches you how to deal with difficult people in tricky situations. It also gives you a chance to interact and talk to versatile audience.
