GiftCash

A typical day at Giftcash is that of trudging through a shallow river of ever-changing, thick muck, using the same mundane motions to perform everyday tasks. Have you ever worked in a place where you finally have the concept of the job down but it changes again and again? This company has gone a long way, but they will not grow the way they need to grow if the owner keeps treating this place like it's a business out of his garage. The system is so inconsistent that we have to keep changing business models in order to turn any kind of profit, if they turn profits at all.
The constant change does provide ample opportunities to build my resume in lots of different ways, though.
The workplace culture is cliqy. Most of the time, people are talking about any and all business. But in other ways it's a good thing because a lot of the lower and midrange supervisor workers are there for each other like some kind of weird family. We're an island of misfit toys who feel abused and underappreciated by Santa, and sometimes the only way we feel like we can make it through the day is by reminding each other how much we appreciate each other. We help each other a lot with our responsibilities in the same way.
Overall, it'd be an amazing job if the owner and upper management teams were efficient in keeping the business model and profit margins at desirable and consistent rates. They would be less stressed and would pass less stress onto the staff. 

I started my career at GiftCash in January of 2021 and I have already learned so much about the warehouse & grown so much professionally. I started as a regular warehouse associate and I am currently in a Lead position within a year. We get reviews once a year with raises if you hit your work quotas and have good attendance. I really enjoy the management team here and I feel seen and valued as an employee. The Operations manager is extremely relatable and understanding about life situations when they happen, and planned absences. The one thing that is important with this job is that you show up ON TIME and EVERDAY! There were some bad attitudes with this company when I first started and thankfully those people have weeded themselves out and it now feels like a great work environment where everyone is in a good mood, genuinely enjoys being at work, and feels appreciated. I would definitely recommend working at Gift Cash!

The company GiftCash is a brilliant business idea, but has, like all other businesses its fair share of flaws. When you look at the current higher up's in charge at all branches you will very quickly notice that they, just like yourself, are clearly learning as the go on the job. Which has its pros and cons, being that it is still a relatively new company (founded in 2017) theirs much potential for its growth and turn around, which I personally believe in. To be entirely fair, management and even the ownership is very understanding with their employees and compromise to help pertaining to most issues. While I feel they still lack in the fact that their is not reasonable accommodation for the work expected of you, which I wont specify on. Although they do notice all behaviors and provide consequences for them whether it be good or bad, so I find that to be a good thing about the company.

 The management  is sneaky and like to blind side their employees. They tell you there is room for raises. When in fact they push the data back on your review as you get closer to  to your 30 day it turns to a 3 months review  and then it turns into a 6 month review  and then moves to a year. The organization  of how the company flows in counter productive. The management also fail to properly train new employees.  Pay roll has  a huge issue with properly  paying the employees  on time with the correct amount.  Over all a terrible work environment  unless you like to be taken advantage of
 

Working at GiftCash has been an overall great experience. From a management standpoint the key is understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the team. The small family environment here helps create a positive setting for our team. I believe many of us enjoy our work with the company.
