I WORK AT PENCILS: PENCILS WILL NEVER MAKE THIS LIST

PENCILS WILL NEVER MAKE THIS LIST

Over the past 4 years I have loyally patronized my local Home Depot, Starbucks and Whole Foods. What amazes me is the lack of turnover of those companies' employees. I continually see the same faces working at Home Depot. Jim at the paints counter, Jason in electrical and Wilfred in plumbing. Now, walk into your neighborhood Pencils, and it is unlikely the cashier or EasyWreck Tech you see will still be working there on your next visit. Why? Because if you have read the postings on this blog, you know they treat their employees like shit. No benefits, lousy pay, sexual harassment and management that has their heads up their asses. Pencils should top the list in "The 100 Worst Companies To Work For In America."

Mission Statement

I don't have a MBA from Harvard nor did I attend the Wharton School of The University of Pennsylvania. In fact, I barely graduated from high school, but I would like to meet the genius at PENCILS who came up with this business plan: Sell laptop computers and other high-end merchandise below cost to generate floor traffic, then rely on low paid, part-time employees to sell customers crap they don't need (expensive anti-virus software, Microsoft products, 3 Year Extended Service Plans and other add-ons) in hopes of generating a profit. These are my stories.
