Kid to Kid

In general I liked and respected everyone that I worked with here. Managers were patient teachers and owner was often involved and in the store and would even work the register on busy days. A solid team act. However there were absolutely no benefits, pay was low, the job was physically demanding beyond what I would consider reasonable. You would often be expected to be doing 5-8 things at one time and while I can multitask as well as anyone you would also be expected to do things within an unreasonable time limit. For example. You are on the register, while the register you must be hanging and sorting clothes (The standard is 1 bin within 30 mins faster is better) you are absolutely expected to stop what you are doing to serve customers, not just ringing up huge purchases but also assisting on the floor if the floor worker is busy or not in (there is typically only 1 floor worker per shift unless there is a sale event) you are also expecting to be sorting the clothes you hang and then running them out to floor while still serving customers AND keeping your station clean. If you slow down for any reason you will be scolded and told to speed up. Often you will be doing all of this by yourself and for your entire shift. Occasionally a 2nd or 3rd worker will come in for a midday shift on the register but after they leave you will be alone again. If you are a presorter you will do all of the above AND your own job which can become unmanagable on weekends. I've seen 3 girls have full blown break downs trying to manage it. My self included. Management is helpful but generally unsympathetic. There is a "just get it done and get it done fast" attitude. All this paired with extremely low pay, no room for growth, promotion, and lies and about raises and my VERY long commute were more than enough to drive me out. On my last day I was very ill and vomiting but was told I could not leave and would have to finish my 8 hour shift regardless of my condition. I quit on the spot. That job wasn't worth it and I would never recommend anyone to work there unless it's a part time job while your're studying and live with parents who can cover your bills.

This job is really great for anyone who is going through a transistion in their life. They are very flexible with scheduling as long as you do it in advance, especially students and moms. Mostly woman work there so at times it can be challanging with different personalities. I will say when it comes to moving up the highest you can go is store manager and with all the responsibilites your better off looking forward to life after this job. It is typical retail, but when  you buy peoples items it can be hard to deal with customers. I felt like I learned a lot about the resale business and I feel like I met a lot of cool people along the way. You are mostly scheduled as part-time but when events and busy season come around they are willing to give more hours if you need them. But only management is given full-time hours. When I worked a shift that was short staffed unrealistic expectations were set on what we needed to do and I found that a lot dealing with the owner, she was not realistic about her staff and made people do things crunch time.THERE WAS TERRIBLE COMMUNICATIONS WHEN IT COME TO OWNER, MANAGEMENT, AND STAFF. On a Sunday we had a staff meeting and we had to stay until bins got hung that were suppose to be done earlier in the week. I would say this job is great for high school students, college students, moms looking for a part time work. I was in school at the time and I left once I found something better. Also pay was okay started at 7.45 you can get up to 10 but 10 is for managers.

I worked for this company for about 9 months. The owner was always very kind and easy going, the orientation/training was thorough, yet easy. I was paid above minimum wage, although there was little room for advancement at the retail level. The other employees hired were generally upstanding and well mannered, customer friendly people who could usually be depended on to do their jobs without complaint. All duties were simple and straight forward, if not repetitive sometimes. The work atmosphere is fun and friendly, within a store always filled with families of young children and their parents. There is a close bond between the customers and the store employees, who will often know many of their customers by name. Most (often all) employees are female, causing male workers to sometimes be the "odd man out"; however, there is no discrimination amongst supervisors and employees. Stores are often small, usually having less than 20 employees, with between three and five on duty on an average day. Being around pleasant coworkers and happy families all day creates a uniquely enjoyable, fresh, and satisfying work environment that doesn't get old quickly, although there is a TV in the corner that plays Disney movies for the children over and over all day, so expect to learn the script for every Disney movie ever made by heart after a year or so.

They will expect you to have very open availability, for basic/low pay, and if you can't have completely open availability for any reason, they will just stop scheduling you. They will also intentionally short schedule shifts because they "can't afford to schedule more" but then complain when their impossible list of tasks is incomplete because the customers come first and you can't leave the register to work on the 20 other projects they left for "if it is slow" (it's never that slow). They will never back the employee in the event of a customer complaint, and claim to trust their staff and management but micromanage via camera all day long. The married couple that owns the store is constantly at odds with each other over the best course of action and you will feel caught in the middle.  
Good news is the ladies you'd work with are awesome, especially the manager, and they'd have your back. It's also so fun to see everything that comes in, and you're never bored because there is always something to do.  It is definitely fast paced, always changing, on your feet and moving customer service, which I loved. I hope they will learn that respect is earned and goes both ways, and all good employees need besides that is to feel truly valued and appreciated.  

A typical day at work would include you clocking in, then you would go over to the stock processing table and help to sort the new inventory and place the individual clothing items on hangers, then you'd have to do a walk through of the store to make sure everything's in it place, and nearing the end of your shift you would be put on register until its time for you to clock out. While working for this company I learned the value of recycling your child's clothes and toys so that others can get the same experience out of them as you did at a lesser price. The management in this company was fair, it would have been great if the only managers weren't husband and wife. They were constantly trying to progress the employees in different directions which caused a lot of conflicts in the company. The coworkers in this company were constantly changing, so there wasn't really a basis for a general evaluation of them. The hardest part of the job was trying to maintain the overall appearance of the store because most of the employees were very lazy and walk throughs didn't occur as often as they should. The most enjoyable part of this job for me was knowing that I was contributing to a cause to help lower income families attain the clothes and toys that they needed for their children at a price that they could afford.

Unfortunately even the wonderful employees can't make a job function the way that it could when management is terrible. They tell you one thing during the interview, and then once you're hired they threw you to the wolves. Your hours and time-off requests are subjected to whether you're part of their "team". You may be great in one area, but once you've gotten to the buying status don't think about leaving that computer your entire shift. Don't even ask to close - it'll take you at minimum 1.5hrs after the store closes to leave. 

Having a people pleasing personality and an amazing ability to multitask while not being easily overwhelmed is a MUST! You are constantly on the go with very little down time, and only one break for lunch. Advancement is easily obtained; however, get EVERYTHING in writing. Also, this is a minimum wage retail job, so don't expect to work with people with have much experience. I'd not suggest it for people with families because don't even think about changing your schedule to accommodate your families needs. 

Good luck!

This is more of a high-school/ college part time job, they worked GREAT with my schedule senior year and the summer after with my vacations. If you have children this place it great with a discount, you get first pick if you see something cute. The bad side about working here was the customers for the most part. It is a RE-SALE shop, not a good-will, and customers Don’t understand we only take the BEST of clothing items. They will try and complain about anything and everything, will write reviews over the dumbest things, To be honest this job will teach you a great way to handle rude customers. Also it is a VERY fast paced job, you will learn to multitask, be put under some pressure but it is a good way to work on handling stressful situations! It helped me develop more social/ customer service skills, it’s a very personal job, hence you are going through peoples kids used clothing! The people i worked with were like a family, i loved coming to work and be able to be comfy with the people i work with and I’ve made some very amazing friends.

Being underpaid can have serious consequences for both individuals and society. First, it can lead to financial stress, making it difficult for employees to meet basic needs, save, or invest in their future. This stress can also negatively affect mental and physical health, contributing to anxiety, depression, and burnout. Underpaid workers often experience a lack of motivation, leading to decreased productivity and job satisfaction. Over time, this can result in high turnover rates, which costs businesses more money in recruitment and training. Furthermore, when workers are not compensated fairly, it can contribute to social inequality, perpetuating poverty cycles. Additionally, being underpaid devalues workers' contributions, potentially causing resentment and reduced morale across teams. Overall, underpayment harms not only the employees but also the broader economy, creating an imbalance that limits opportunities for growth and progress. Ensuring fair compensation is essential for individual well-being and societal stability.





Was getting hours at first and i thought it was good. Things started out ok untill 2 weeks later the boss calls me up. And says things that arnt true she expects me to be a pro at my job when I've been working my butt off getting the hang of things here takes time but she apparently doesnt understand that and im trying to support my 5 month daughter and trying to go to college as well she knows i have a kid and apparently could care less if i can't support my daughter!!!! School just started up for me and she was ok with it at first but then say would you like to take the week off i said no i just need monday and Wednesday off but thank you. Well later she calls and says i dont really need you this week but still welcome to come in and work until your sent home and i dont have any hours for you next week. She just keeps hiring high schoolers and yet she wonders why she's so desperate for people during the day!!! Working here was a joke and boss is complete bubble brain. I highly dont recomend it!!!

Working at Kid to Kid is a great job for high school students looking to gain work experience in a friendly and fast-paced environment. The staff is usually welcoming, and the job helps build valuable skills such as customer service, teamwork, communication, and organization. The flexible scheduling can work well around school and extracurricular activities, making it a convenient option for students.
However, the job can also be very exhausting at times. Employees are often on their feet for long shifts, sorting through large amounts of clothing, organizing racks, and helping customers throughout the day. Busy weekends and sale events can be especially demanding, with a high volume of merchandise and customers to manage. The work is repetitive at times and requires attention to detail when processing items.
Overall, Kid to Kid is a solid first job that teaches responsibility and workplace skills, but it requires energy, patience, and a strong work ethic.
