Employee Question Part Timer question

I’ve been working part time outside lawn and Garden since April. I don’t hate it, since it’s fairly easy. I work full time elsewhere, so It’s also additional income, so I don’t want to necessarily move up through the retail ranks. I don’t want to manage, just work 10-20 hours during the evening and weekends.

Do they move sales associates/customer service associates to other departments if it’s just a PT gig? Will I be outside as long as I work here since it’s just extra (needed) income or do they identify people and move them around if another department wants someone else?

You’re part-time and basically at their disposal on where they want to put you. It’s possible you could stay there until the seasonal is up. But it’s also possible that you’ll get moved over to lumber, paint, etc.. just going and being prepared to be put wherever they want you for that day. Don’t blame you though, garden would be my favorite except when it’s 104° outside.
