Dead Bird - Reporter American Eagle Outfitters Employee Review

I worked at Corporate, you either had the managers brown-nosing with whomever was their superior or micromanaging you. My co-workers would work slow and watch netflix and then try to throw anyone not in the click under the bus. When they wanted to bring pets to work they tried to get us all to sign papers waving AEO of any liabilities. We got paid a salary and frequently had to work 12 hour shifts with no notice. AEO has a rolling layoff policy, you have about two years before you're replaceable. Pretty much all of the company is white with a few token blacks, and all of the security was black with one white supervisor. They force you to go to meaningless meetings that have no relevance to you. The head of the department just talks for an hour and anyone that asks questions normally gets replaced a few weeks later. They are misogynistic and homophobic. Only apply if you are a married alcoholic middle age white male with tattoos and kids, looking to cheat on your wife with the various pretty girls that are really just at AEO as decorations. You will be fired at any notice if they don't like you. Be warned.
