Worst place to work

Pros

Discount on mostly everything. That’s it.

Cons

One of the worst places I’ve ever worked. They are way too focused on metrics and care more about them then they do their employees. When you apply for a FULL TIME POSITION, don’t expect full time. They will start giving you 30+ hours for the first couple weeks and then drop them to barely anything and expect you to stick around. They will also tell you they are going to promote you to a higher position and never do. The managers/CSS people and rude and disrespectful for no reason. Overall I wouldn’t waste your time even shopping here let alone working here.

Pros

Great facilities. On site cafeteria has good food but is expensive. Most employees are hard working and smart.

Cons

The closer you work to the CEO the more stress and the more hours you will work including weekends. Planners, buyers, ecomm and some in visual work alot of hours in a stressful environment. Some individuals in other departments don't even work 40 hours a week.

Pros

There are no pros about working here. It was an awful experience.

Cons

When I was interviewed I told them I had open availability until I started college in the fall. They said working around my schedule would be no problem. When it came time to update my availability I kept being told they didn't have the sheets available. Finally I got one. Before I turned my sheet in I was scheduled to work all week. After updating my availability they took me off of the schedule the rest of the week and never spoke to me about it. In addition, I wasn't scheduled to work the next 2 weeks either. When I spoke to management I was told my performance was an issue. No one ever talked to me about performance issues before my availability change. Nor did management show me any proof or try to help me to get better if performance really was an issue. In the meantime another manager was in the office smirking like it was funny. Management is horrible. When I started there I was never told there were 3 schedules to check. I was given a point for not coming to work on a day I wasn't even aware I was scheduled for. Working here was like joining a fraternity and being hazed as your initiation. Do yourself a favor and look for another job with better morals and values.
