I have nothing more to add
I have nothing to add as I was a contractor. I was treated with respect. Company culture was fun and progressive. They are struggling as most brick and mortors retailers are.

fun place to work
Consistently achieved highest per-weekly sales on average by up-selling products and suggesting add-ons. Monitored store merchandise inventory to keep track of most purchased items

Steady & organized work day.
I enjoyed working with the staff very much. A few of the managers were not good examples of a team leader, i believe they were not experienced in life enough to lead the staff in a positive direction. A few were very imature and needed better social skills when dealing with staff & customers.
Overall the majority of employees were loyal, educated in retail & relatable to each other & customers.
The salary was much too low for the work entailed though. Sorry to see that Pierone is chapter 11 even though all of the items were made in China as in 99% of the retail market today. Prices much to high and quality basically the same as lower end stores ( Walmart, Homegoods , etc.) 🇺🇸

Pier 1 Imports was great and I enjoyed learning about retail.
A day working at Pier 1 Imports involved selling items to customers, talking about merchandise, and getting to know customers and their styles was enjoyable. I learned a lot about the products in which I was selling, good customer relationships, dealing with irate customers, and setting out displays. My manager was friendly, upbeat, and personable. However, she didn't always acknowledge my co-workers' or my own abilities. My co-workers were very nice and we were always willing to help each other. The hardest part of working for Pier 1 Imports was probably working overnight. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting to know the customers and seeing their faces light up when they were inspired by merchandise.
ProsNice co-workers, good atmosphere, very upbeat.
ConsNot always able to show strengths, schedule was inconsistent.

fun coworkers and willing to cover, good team spirit
Pier 1 went bankrupt and all stores were closed at the end of February 2020. I enjoyed working at Pier 1 Imports as the customers are regular customers and know what they like. We had a steady stream of new product coming in every week.
