Flexible scheduling, but management prioritizes bonuses over staff

Customer experience coordinator (cec)

Pros

Scheduling is flexible which is nice while being in school

Cons

Upper management only cares about customers signing up for credit cards and they will only treat you with respect if you shill their card. They get mad if you arent meeting your goals even if it is clearly evident that you were trying your best because lower numbers means that management doesnt get their bonus. As a CEC I was expected to train the cashiers to slave away at the register to get customers to sign up even though we did not get any part of the bonus that management gets.
