What don't you like about working at P.C. Richard & Son?

"When you work for PC you have no personal worth.You are regarded as nothing more than a work horse.They are constantly finding ways to reduce your pay and they play against your most valued commodity,your time. 7:00 am meeting when you are closing the store and you are due in at 12:00pm. I remember days walking around feeling more that half dead from exhaustion and headaches.You are blamed and penalizes for everything from bad weather to nasty customers. The hours are too long (with penalty meetings included you can easily be in the store 65 - 70 hours a week) The company should pay your fare to Farmingdaleclasses. The company should reinstate the bonus bucks incentive on high end products. Each year they manage to take away some monetary benefit to the sales counselor. Sony personnel told us they were still paying the bonus bucks on what we sold but PCR decided not to pay us. Each year something else was taken away and more responsibilities came upon us. PCR hired people to clean the store. Why then should the sale counselor have to clean the tops of doors, shelves and everything else in the store. Fixing up and maintaining is one thing but this WHOLE store clean up is insane (because some big wig is coming to the store. We also have to be in charge of security. If a customer steals a tv off the sales floor it is, you guest it, the sales counselors fault. We are supposed to be attending to customers and we should HELP OUT in these cases."

"I say this. Prior to coming to PCR I owned my own 6 fig income business. 911 circumstances changes that. I am not talking about the management in my store.In my case, I speak for them not against them.But for corporate management I believe they treat they people that work for them like cattle. I was an executive processing securities, but they made me feel like I was a dirt. If you don't believe me just listen to they way they curse at their managers. For me personally, that would have lasted about 6 seconds. PCR wants you to produce for them but they handicap at every joint. They are constantly opening stores in other places with brand new equipment. I don't know how much it cost to do all that but it would make common sense to include an update in the bulk purchase to cover the the replacement for the old, non functioning junk we had to work with on the sales floor month after month. If you have ten or so sales registers on the floor with only four to five fully functioning this is very bad with over twenty sales counselors in the store. HEARING A LOT OF THIS LATELY. These big companies are only interested in profitsand they lost interest in common people. THE SAME COMMON PEOPLE THAT HOLDS THEIR SYSTEM UP.I met AJ Richards before he passed and I got the impression that it was a little different back in the old days. I think he had the right formular because he seemed to care about our experiences"
