Worst/Toxic place to work

Pros

Pay was good but not after pay cuts put in place is almost at federal minimum wage.

Cons

The management has super high expectations for everyone below them while my store manager never made sales and was always in the office on the computer. Payroll was always lower than what was needed. Our store was always getting high scores on audits and secret shops and our manager took it as credit when she was brand new and not apart of it. They led you on to work your overtime off for no reward. Trying to move up required 4 interviews with different leadership and had no communication as to when I would hear back. All the while they hired someone else without letting me know they filled the position. They pressure you to buy the clothing and you cannot even where it to work with the new dress code.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We did implement adjustments in pay as opposed to eliminating positions due to challenges in the current economy. To clarify, the adjustments in pay are significantly higher than the Federal Minimum Wage of $7.25 per hour. We do have high expectations regarding the guest experience and we encourage our team to always keep the guest as our first priority. We're sorry you didn't feel the positive results were celebrated with the entire team, we will share this information with our leaders to ensure that we celebrate successes in an impactful way in the future. The lack of communication regarding your interview process is unfortunate and not a common practice. We will address this with our team and we will discuss the importance of meaningful conversations and follow up during the interview process for future candidates.

A company I love that turned into a joke

Pros

I made great relationships with the people I worked with that I still keep in touch with

Cons

You will get tricked into thinking this is the best company then people show their true colors. Management is horrible and two sided. I asked my manager on multiple occasions how my performance was and received the same response everytime that it was great and I had nothing to worry about. I never had a performance review or any write ups. Fast forward to a month later, I was fired in front of everyone for “performance” without being given any type of examples of where it was bad when I asked. The woman who fired me was never a fan of me and it was obvious that day. I am not the first or the last person she has done this to either. It is pretty evident the kind of leader she is based on the insane turnover within her department. People who grow in the company are people who kiss managers butts instead of doing good work.

Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts. We're happy to hear you enjoyed certain aspects about your time with us. It's unfortunate that you felt as though there was inconsistency with your leadership team. We will make our District Leaders aware of your concerns and work with them to resolve this issue and minimize the chances of this happening in the future.
