Cons
Working for Athleta NYC Upper East Side was one of the worst jobs I've ever had. You would think this job would be a fun environment due to the fact that it revolves around health, fitness, fashion, and the empowerment of women but it's the complete opposite. This location is drenched in drama and complications. The managers and associates are extremely passive-aggressive, you can't even ask a simple question about daily goals without someone giving you an attitude. The managers have the tendency to micromanage your every move and if you step away for a second to assist a customer, they will scold and embarrass you in front of everyone. Even the managers even have a power struggle going on within themselves and when an associate does a task one manager told them to do and the next manager doesn't like it, instead of addressing the manager they want to bad mouth you when all you were doing was following instructions. Being a leader is to lead by example and help the development of your team but these managers do everything in their power to make you feel that your whole existence is nothing. Also the hours here are horrendous a typical part time position usually ranges from 15-20 hours but they barely even gave me 8 hours. Such a terrible place to work don't even waste your time and effort in this place.
