Burlington Stores reviews

Corporate is wasting money like it's drinking water. - They don't have much room for growth. It seems like even the department managers are unsatisfied with their pay. - They need to pay the employees more and worry less about retarded things like people can't wear their cellphone holsters on their hip while "on the floor". - They don't pay as much as other electronic stores (that are in the retail category). - Starting pay varies wildly from person to person. - Hours are so inconstant. One week you work 12 hours, next week you work 29 and the next week you work 9 hours - Department managers don't seem to be cross-trained in other departments. - Training sucks (not much computer or video guided courses). They like to throw you in the pool and tell you to swim. This is a problem for people like me who come from electronics Retail stores that don't do the EXACT same procedures, have different methods and have less "run around" when having to complete a task. - The employees are only there for a paycheck and the discount (Which means this is an obvious dead end job). - Corporate seems to not care about part-time employees. Which is sad because 90% of the company is Part-Time employees. Only Leads and Department managers are considered "Full-Time". - The health insurance for part-time employees is a joke. You're better off paying for your own insurance. - They shred (stained) clothes that have been returned. When it can be washed and sold for half price.

I'm not sure that most of those who make policy and process decisions have ever done (or are even remotely familiar with) the jobs about which those decisions are made. Simple things like claiming five minute tasks should take five hours and vice-versa. Payroll budgets change from week to week, so there is little consistency in employee coverage. Very little training resources are available for new employees and in the rare occasion that someone is actually promoted the pay increase is withheld for 90 days. This ensure that the employee is competent to do the job before paying them accordingly and allows the company to demote them back to their previous position without the hassle of salary issues. In addition, when the employee reaches 90 days in their new position, there is no retroactive pay at the new rate. Although this makes great business sense, it is awful for employees. Employee salaries seem quite random and not based on experience, aptitude, etc...
