Out of curiosity, what positions could seasonal employees get? Is it just cashier and Hardlines or are there more?
Mostly cashier, sales floor, and flow. We rarely (if ever) hire seasonals to work in pricing, plano, or instocks, and new backroom hires have been nonexistent because my BRTL prefers to cross-train instead. We did have a seasonal GSA a couple years ago, and shockingly she was hired on.
But ASANTS.
Definitely not AP. Because that would be dumb.

Correct, our store is cross training a lot of our team members for those positions as it doesn't make sense to do heavy training for a skilled position for someone who is only seasonal.
