Jaime Sain

My job as a U.S. Rater was a part time work from home position. Duties included analyzing search engine and website quality for various clients of Telus International, which is a digital/AI-based company located nationally in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I began work as a sales lead in the juniors department at Kohl's on October 4th of 2022. My starting pay was $13 an hour. I averaged 20-25 hours a week regularly, and 35-40 hours a week during the holiday season. My job responsibilities included, but in the end were definitely not limited to:

• Processing freight for my department, averaging two trucks weekly and usually taking 1-2 full shifts to complete per truck (considering additional expectations and responsibilities)
• Assisting with freight unloading itself (from truck/box to designated distribution areas in the stockroom)
• Setting my department in accordance to a quarterly floor plan and maintaining that appearance, making changes as needed
• Serving as a backup cashier when needed
• Store recovery, often times in all departments aside from my own, including constant clean up from fitting rooms and the customer service desk
• Customer assistance with self pickup orders
• Picking online orders
• Processing price changes
• Assisting in the store's yearly inventory

I was no longer happy with the work environment and therefore left my position in December of 2023. My final payrate was $13.30 an hour.

I began work with Chico's as a part time keyholder and moved up to ASM in the Fall of 2021. My duties as an assistant manager included:

• Receiving and processing daily freight
• Assisting in floor changes
• Helping manage staff
• Processing markdowns
• Processing point of sale changes
• All aspects of customer service (all register functions, special orders, bra fitting, etc.)
• Opening and closing functions of the store

I left Chico's on January 9th of 2022 after an extended period of being short staffed, which made it difficult for me to juggle my job and responsibilities at home. (My mother lives with me and is partially homebound. She was very sick at that time and ended up hospitalized.) My starting pay was $12.50 and I left at $15 an hour.

As a part time assistant manager for Cato, I undertook almost every responsibility that was also delegated to full time management. These tasks included, but were not limited to, opening and closing the store, helping to train new hires, handling all customer transactions, taking part in inventory and truck deliveries, processing weekly freight and markdowns, cleaning, executing planograms, etc. Unfortunately the pay was very low considering what was expected for the position that I was working.

I began employment with Cato on March 22, 2019 as a part time associate earning $8.20 an hour and ended on December 30th, 2019 at the same pay rate but doing the job of a full time manager. I was also not eligible for any health benefits, PTO, or vacation time regardless of sometimes working over 30 hours a week and also open-close shifts.

The unrealistic demand and expectations became too much for what I was earning, therefore I left the company in December of 2019.

Even though I was a much better fit as an ASM, I also served as acting store manager for several months during my employment with Hallmark. Tasks that I performed as an assistant manager and acting SM included:

• Interviewing/hiring/training employee candidates and new employees
• Scheduling
• Inventory control
• Receiving stock/transfers out
• Merchandising
• Seasonal floor change overs
• All daily opening/closing operations
• Helping to open new store locations
• All areas of customer service
• Cleaning

I left my position in late 2007 in order to stay at home with my new baby.

I left this position shortly before the store/company closed.
