Job responsibilities should be reviewed annually by the employee and manager
Pros: The pay is mediocre, but better than a lot of other mall jobs - benefits, same deal. Job security is non-existent because although it requires a lot of training and memorization, the turn-over rate is ridiculous. Promotions and raises are a joke- people become underhanded and nasty when sales are concerned and only numbers count. It really is a combination of luck and a little skill when it comes to this company and sales. The products are marked up ridiculously high and people are paying for what they think is a novelty.
Cons: Job performance reviews can be stressful, especially when you feel that you are being criticized for your work methods and manner. Responding in a thoughtful, objective and proactive manner to a job performance review will make the experience a positive one for you and for the future of your job. If you take the attitude that you can learn from a performance review, you'll grow even better within your chosen field of work. Always keep in mind that the way that you respond to a performance review says a lot about your character and influences the next review.
