Value World

My typical day at work would be entering all the sales for the 13 stores that we managed. Answering customer calls and directing them to the correct person or taking messages. Filing and faxing as needed. Handling the mail and sorting through making a daily tape of the amount of the bills that arrived on a daily basis. Handling the unemployment requests that would come in on a daily basis. Basically help run the office with any duties that were required. Management was very involved in the daily routines and managed the stores and employees with ease. Co-workers were always friendly and I got along with everyone. The hardest part of the job was actually leaving everyone. I enjoyed my job very much but came to Las Vegas to better our life and make a change for the positive. The most enjoyable part of the job was doing all of it. I love being in an office setting and doing all of the duties that goes with working in an office.

the typical day at value world is  a fast paced, competitive and  position of keeping customers happy. What i learned at this place is that the manager keeps everything stabile, good security at the building, and clean for the customers to feel comfortable ,to keep them coming back again.magaement is up to part as far , receiving new merchandise and keeping it up to date. My co-workers were great  on keeping  me alert of rules and regulations. They is amazing staff that keeps you confident in working in your field. The hardest part about my job was watching out the customers that comes stealing out the store. My enjoyable momemts of the day when exactly you have customers needing any help in merchandise of their liking, you always see them walking out the store smiling and craking jokes with staff, because it was just that comfortable there.

The area I've worked at has closed down and I'm glad it did. For one, the building has been there for forever (my own mother shopped there as a child) and nothing was done to remodel it or at least made it a little more appealing. It was just falling apart and it was crazy to see people shopping there in its condition

The managers there were unprofessional and they always hid in the office, especially during the busy times. The work itself was a lot to do and for what it was, wasnt worth minimum wage The shifts aren't any better and i didn't like how I never had time for myself, especially since I was in school at the time and it seemed practically forbidden to even ask for a day off. Some of the coworkers there made it somewhat tolerable but not as much.

It wasn't worth adding  my "experience" there to my resume

What is the best part of working at the company?
Associate discount on merchandise 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Where to start. Management is a joke. They don’t know how to do their job, let alone treat their employees with respect. The pay is HORRIBLE, and you’re lucky if you get a 15 minute break. Management bullies their employees and expects you to put the company first before anything, even when you’re not working. You’re expected to bend over backwards for a company that could care less about their workers or their well being. You’re not trained at all, and if registers come up short, they take it out of your pay check 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Horrible and anxiety inducing 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Overworked and underpaid and unappreciated

Most nights-not so sure about days-it was pretty slow, with the exception of coupon specials.  Despite the lack of activity, it was a fairly stressful work environment, as I was constantly worried about my pay grade, being reprimanded for nothing in particular, and issues with customers.  On the whole, individual people were very nice on both sides of the company-management and customers-but it felt poorly run, and no one was paid what they deserved for the job.  Part-time workers received no benefits or vacation time, and I didn't qualify for insurance assistance, which means I never got any sort of medical care during my tenure, aside from ER visits for respiratory problems and other issues.

a typical day at work for me started at 7 and began with emptying barrels of garbage and using a bail machine for clothing the biggest thing i learned while being there was how to work with people and how to use different equipment and machinery certian levels of management here were chilidish and not meant for the postion they held although co workers were great and made having the job alot easier the hardest part of my job was the physical demand on my body constaly lifting large amounts of weight and the easiest part would have been the days i used a bail machine

A typical day at work consist of Counting register, cleaning up, color coordinating clothes on rack, cashier, and always great customer service. I learned to work in a fast paced environment, multi-task, ring up customers much faster then average, and communicate with all cultures and religions to achieve sales. Management and co-workers were team players which made the job much easier and exciting. The hardest part of the job was telling customers "that sale is over", but enjoying telling them upcoming sales and sales that were going that specific day they were in the store.

I was really excited to be hired here because I love thrift stores. The coworkers and most of the managers are nice and easy to get along with. I am a social person and found that I was craving more interaction with people at work because my particular job was putting away clothes by myself. Also, because of the required 7 hour shifts, my body always ached by halfway through my shift and I would need the next day off to recover. 

I worked at Value World for 2 years. During this time, it had its highs and lows. The beginning was best but it soon went down. I did a lot for the company and got nothing back (promotion, say good job, etc.). Management is AWFUL! Work at any other establishment before you apply here. You'd get benefits and a higher rate of pay, period. The people that generally work there also will LEECH off of you. Theres much more I could say but I want to keep it short and sweet. Avoid this place!

A typical day at work is difficult but you have great coworkers to help you through your day , you don’t learn anything there and they have no benefits. Management is awful they are rude not understanding at all and make sure it’s known they think they are better than everyone else. There really isn’t anything enjoyable working at value world anymore and it’s sad it used to be a great place!
