EASY PICKINS

This review varies by location however some branches within the company are not well put together while other are great. I learned a lot form them in terms of what it takes to be in a leaders role. The hardest part pf the job is expectation vs preparation. It seems they expect you to just know things without being properly trained or in some cases trained at all. The best part of the job is the ability to move up. They are always willing to give an advancement opportunity.

Starting off as a Stock boy, getting shoes for customers, I was able to pick things up quickly, within a year, I was promoted to Key holder, one below store Manager. Things were running smoothly business was increasing, with the help my associates. 
After three years of becoming a key holder, no higher positions were offered, a request for a raise every year was denied with the same excuse, "business is tight, there isn't any money coming in."

Not the type of place to make a career out of.

A typical day working at EP is clock in and get to work until its time to clock out. In between help customers. Have conversations with your co workers and look out for thiefs.

I've learned retail isn't always easy. And the pay isnt always worth it.

You might not reach a Managment position.

You and Your co workers become family.

The hardest part are rude customers.

The most enjoyable part is the clothing and shoes.

A typical day at work was satisfying, once you clock in there was always something to do. I learned a lot from working here, a lot of patience and the key to great customer service. The management was great, i learned a lot about team work and leadership lessons. The work place culture was professional. I don't re call having a tough time or experience working here. The most enjoyable part of the job was succeeding at keeping the customers happy

typical day at work consist of maintaining store appearance, helping customers with their needs,unpacking daily packages, taking customers payments, and taking iventory
i learned how to do inventory and how to put tranfers in/ out in the computer system
my former co-workers and management were pleasant to work with
there was nothing hard about the job
the most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people

Easy Pickin's is a big shopping store in Philadelphia. Working here gave me the experience I needed to get as a manger ....I start off as a sales than later promoted as a manger from all my hard work. A typical day is making sure employees are doing there job, I have to count all the money that's in the store , I help customer find clothing that best fit them weather its a size or for a event . I love helping people and working with my team

Working at easy pickins was not too bad of an experience. The workers were very friendly and always willing to help one another. The Managers are very considerate if you are currently in school or have other responsibilities, they will work with your schedule. The pay in my opinion was not enough to be able to provide for yourself and/or your family, however this is a good job if you are in school and looking for part time work

Alot of customers are nasty and unpleasable. They expect discounts on everything and throw temper tantrums when they can't get it. Customers have left feces in shoe boxes, threatened to beat girls up, and screamed in our faces over things out of our control. The higher ups are worried about making customers like this happy so they return to the store which puts employees in danger.

I've been working 5 days a week in Easy Pickins for 2 years. I learned how to interact with people face to face, handle cash, help customer, transfer and receive goods, displays and cleanings. I didn't have any issues with my co-workers and I like to work with all of them. The hardest of the job is I had to carry delivered shoe boxes. Part of the job I enjoy is to work as a team.

You will be expected to deal with a huge load of work by your own and deal with the customers at the same time. Manager can be overwhelming and unrealistic. Wants you to help her do her work but without leaving your own work.
