    Default Seasonal Work

    Anyone have any recommendations on places to look for seasonal work for the Christmas time? I know most places in the mall are probably looking, but anyone have any suggestions or horror stories I should avoid?
    I have alot of customer relation experiance but never worked anywhere like a clothing/electronics store....

    Thanks for the 14 years of LOLs. Govern yourselves accordingly and avoid uppercut reactions!

    Try to do something you might like (Or at least enjoy the benefits). I know FS and Best Buy have nice employee discounts, if you're into buying something expensive there why not see if you can get the employee discount if you're a seasonal employee?

    Let's face it, unless you're making serious money ($15+/hour) then you might as well take something that has benefits, or that you'd really enjoy. Trust me - this is coming from a guy who's worked 2 jobs since about 18

    Last time, I heard I believe seasonal workers do not have benefits or discounts off the store products. Workers are only allowed to receive discounts now if you've worked there for 3 months or more.

    I've heard that too, I know places like sportscheck at least have a 3 month deal.

    I'll check toys-r-us, its not the most "upscale" job I'll have worked , but cash is cash

    Thanks guys

    ^^ Not when I was planning on applying around this time last year. They required a minimum of 3 months as with every other place.
