Heh-Heh. I was hired on as a holiday employee about 3 years ago at the Oviedo Mall. I lasted about 2 weeks before I realized it was crappy hours, crappy pay, and management was a bunch of airheads. I hate going into Express and being "attacked" by an associate the second I walk in and then being suffocated by them as I try to shop. They tell their employees to be relentless when it comes to getting a sale. You're supposed to also harass the customer in the fitting rooms by throwing a shirt over the door that you think they might like. God forbid you pick their wrong size! Then, you talk their ear off about the Express credit card. I just couldn't deal with the customers getting annoyed at the associates for doing this; I would be annoyed too if I was in their shoes. I began to hate myself and that's no fun. Plus, it's not like you get commission for all the sales you get so what's the point? I quit after 2 weeks and went back home to work at the Bloomingdale's in the Boca Town Center. The pay was better, I got commission, and they don't force you to annoy the hell out of your customers!
