Christmas Discounters

I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone. At the beginning it was so enjoyable. I met SS and GB ( owner and GM) and they were so kind, generous and seemed so humble and appreciative.  I applied for a part time position but was pushed into manager with no training or experience. I was groomed by both men into thinking I was doing such a great job. There was alot of grooming going on with other staff. Secretive conversations about advancing with the company and all these promises. To just let people including people needing citizenship with empty promises. Especially with inflation these days and holding money over someone's nose isn't right. 
They expect you to work 24/7. Overworking staff as well as working then when there unwell for their benefit. 
There is alot of decite and ripping off by the company. It's just a mess. When I spoke up and addressed my concerns I was let go 10 days before Christmas without cause. I built my staff I put in so much time and effort it was horrible. My staff who stayed are so unhappy. There worked like dogs and disrespected which happend alot when the GM was down. They make it known that if you speak up or question anything your gone. They realize people need the money and will use that to their own advantage. It was a very stressful environment when they were around. But other than that the job itself was very fun and rewarding. The people and customers were delightful. It's management and the office staff that's the issue. Some of my staffed worked almost 5 weeks before they seen their pay checks. It was awful.

The coworkers are funny and understanding. However the communication between everyone isn’t the greatest. I was hired as someone on call. But I became part time, there were days that I didn’t know I was working as I wasn’t on the schedule but I came in for the Christmas work party that turned into the friends and family discount day and I had to work it. And I didn’t even get to eat the pizza until 3 hours after it arrived. Also I ended up working days that I wasn’t put on the schedule. I found out I was working because I had to ask if I was as I seen on the schedule that everyone had to come. Which was written on the schedule several days after I received my copy. 

At Christmas Discounters each day was a different one. Each experience was a great learning tool which made my job very interesting.The most difficult part of the job was not being able to satisfy a customer which rarely happened in our store. We would always go the extra mile to make sure our customers would have a great shopping experience each and every time they visited our store.
The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing each and every one of our customers leave happy.

I have started working at Christmas Discounters in 2013 as a key holder position. I really enjoyed working in a retail enviroment than working in a call center.  I enjoy working with the public moving around keeping busy than being in one spot all day. I was offered a managers position which I really enjoy. I will continue working for Christmas Discounters until I find a full time position for this is seasonal. I am looking for security, and a friendly work place.

Typical day is usually handling of freight, pricing and customer service. Time flies by as you are always busy doing something. Customers are great as well as co workers. You learn patience and understanding but also to stand your ground when necessary. The hardest part of the job is trying to get freight out in a timely matter when it's also busy with customers. The most enjoyable part of the job are my co workers and never being bored

I have worked at Christmas Discounters for numerous years. My experience has been nothing but positive. Management on all levels have been great. They treated myself and the staff with the utmost respect. When visiting the locations , owner and district manager were always appreciative of the effort put in to the store. I would recommend this company to anyone. A company who cares about their employees.
