Some of the coworkers who had been with the company for a while were really good people. When I first started working for the company, it was a good company to work for. After working with them about a year, the management changed and was pretty bad. The hours for part timers were really horrible and there were several days that they would call you off last minute. For this reason, they would go through 3-5 new hires every month. They didn’t support the employees very well and demanded a lot for the little pay and horrible hours. At one point, we all worked 8-12 hours a week. They didn’t really offer full time to almost everyone and there isn’t much room for growth.

A typical work day is active and busy. The employees bring clothing and merchandise from the production area to stock the sales floor. The customers that come in the store are excited and eager to shop.

I've learned valuable skills. Such as, public relations, accounts receivable and housekeeping duties.

The management of this company is dedicated to have their employees supply the customers with clothing and merchandise. 

The co-workers are friendly and fun to work with.

The hardest part of the job is standing in one spot for several hours.

The most enjoyable part of the job is to have the flexibility to move walk and move around.

Working at Village was very new to me.  I was in a mostly Spanish speaking environment, but that was intriguing and made me want to learn.  Village clearly could not keep workers because customers would see me and be surprised I was still there.  

When I first started, I worked 5 days a week ( T, Th, F, Sat, and Sun ).  Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday I worked 4~ hours ( 11am-3:30pm ).  I would mostly be at my register, other times I was organizing the bookshelf and returning unwanted items to the floor.  Thursday and Sunday I worked until close where at the end of the night, you were responsible for 3 lanes of clothes to fix and did of empty hangers.   

After awhile I ended up only doing day shifts and making less.

As soon as I arrived, I would get the correct color tags for that week to be placed on the articles of clothing. I would sometimes be timed to see if I completed ticketing 50 articles of clothing per minute. When a truck of merchandise arrived, I would be sent out to unload the truck.  At the end of the workday I would be sent out to load the truck with storage items and recyclables being sent back to the warehouse.  On certain weekends or on sale days I would be pleased as a cashier or show room clerk.

Managers are rude, don’t treat you with respect, hard work for no reason, and barely any breaks. Also worked an 8 hour shift as an “orientation” and didn’t get paid for it at all. Managers make mistakes counting the drawers every. Single. Time. And who do they blame it on? You. But then they count again and surprisingly it’s okay. Didn’t have fun there, very depressing environment. Couldn’t even go take a drink of water without the managers bothering me about it

I only work on Saturdays & sometimes Sundays its hard to get more hours which is sad that's why I need a new job asap. When I do work it the hardest days ever 3 mangers their at one time and their all telling you to do things at once and its confusing at times like who do I listen to? my co-workers don't work as hard as I do they take their time but I get yelled at if im not running or moving fast & sweating which isn't fair. I just cant wait to punch out that's the most enjoyable part.

Great pay, but you will work without a uniform, without a post, without help, and without a radio. The employees are great and hardworking. The supervisors are a little harsh, but the overall experience was deserving. I enjoyed the people, the customers, and the great sales, when you are off. But the entire scene is very unprofessional. Very high turn over rate.

the only good thing about this job was that it was close to my house, if I could recommend I would not. At first it was all good the head cashier that use to work there back in 2015 was the best, she quit because of management. another one in 2016 she was the best also she also quit same reason. now another one hope this one will last for them.

A typical day at work was work, there was no time play i got my work done.I learned a great deal of  different operations and machines. The management could of been better. I grew a close bond with my co works and always worked as a team. The hardest part of the job would have to be getting use to the season change and working in various types of weather. The most enjoyable part of the job is getting  the experience to proceed in a better career.

Horrible experience. I got out of there as fast as I could. I had hurt my back because I was the only woman who wasn't pregnant that could climb ladders or lift anything for customers.  I was ran rampant and was only allowed a 10 minute break for an 8 hour shift. It's been a long time since I have worked there but hopefully they have changed considerably. If anything use it for a transition- not a career.
