I was a pc salesman there for a lil while. It was my first retail sales job, but they hired me for the holiday rush. I absolutely loved the job and really enjoyed helping customers no matter how small their problem was. Anyways, being i had no past sales experience, i was having a rough start selling thoose must-sell with every piece of crap Service Plans. The employees layed me a few tips, and things started to get better. I got a service plan sale on a cheap monitor(which is pretty rare to them). However, as things were starting to pick up for me, they started cutting my hours!(and they're only paying me a frickin $7.50/hr, no commision/spiffs either!) however, the hour cut was alrite, since i would be starting winter semester of college in a few weeks. To cut a long story short, the last day i was there, i went into work as usuall, started helping customers, and my super. said the manager wanted to have a meeting with me. Turns out, in the meeting, they said one employee overheard me talkin a bunch of crap about the service plans to customers, and how its not worth it. I said thats a complete frickin lie, and why would i say such sh!t when im having a hard time already sellin them.
The manager of the dpt, had an idea that i would just work in accessories for now, and just absorb what goes on. So i did that, and this is fine for me! i like helpin customers find small accessories,etc. About 2 hrs later, my super. comes to me and says, hey go to the warehouse(recieving area) and ask for so and so. I went back there, real pissed, and fealt mistreated. I started helping unload crap off the truck(for a few hrs) then i start talking to the guys there, and it turns out, thats my new job!!(the guy was asking where to put me on the schedule) l(and theese guys work crazy hrs from like 5pm-8am) later that nite i left, came back a week later, didnt talk to anyone and picked up my check.
Summary: both supervisors hated me from the get-go made up lies to get me and trouble, and moved my job to the warehouse in-doc station.
