BoxLunch reviews

Sales oriented-Not a typical retail job you are expected to upsell products and loyalty. Very little hours!- If you need money this isn’t the place to get consistent hours and good pay most hours I ever received a week was 15 but typically got anywhere from 8-10. Some cases associates were not out on the schedule and my particular store had a high turnover rate. Dress code is a bit strict we didn’t wear uniforms but were asked to dress fashionably, naturally women got more notes on their appearance at work then others.

The pay, while I was employed there, was pretty awful. I worked through the COVID-19 pandemic (in a skeleton crew of only management for the first couple of months of reopening) dealing with some pretty awful and belligerent customers who refused to take pandemic store policies seriously, extra cleaning tasks throughout the day, and, of course, the regular everyday store operations. In the late winter/early spring of 2021, our district manager informed us that management was being given a bonus for our hard work and dedication during the pandemic... a 2% bonus. So instead of making $11.00/hr I would be making $11.22/hr. So by the end of a typical 8-hour shift, I could look forward to bringing home an extra $1.76. My point is that the pay was crappy and you have to love the job if you want any chance of being happy. Since I left, I've heard that they increased the starting wage for associates (which was minimum wage), but only after they weren't able to get anyone to work.
