Pros

Nice office area Benefits Nice view in Des Plaines Generously lets all employees eat together at Fogo De Chao once in awhile.

Cons

Was promised they would train me on how they operate. But when I started they didn't teach me anything, didn't have me do anything, and weren't training me. I guess the person who was supposed to was too busy. After a month or 2 of this, she expected I should be caught up in everything.... yeah no I wasn't. On top of all that I had ADD.. so I needed things explained at a good pace to begin with and probably continuing because I can be a little slow at times. about 3/4's of a year in they seemed worried about my performance (I was barely trained... so what can you expect), and they suspiciously sent me to the Chicago location for awhile to get training. So yay... had to travel every day from the suburbs while I suspected they were planning on letting me go. Other employees didn't interact or invite me to anything like they were not expecting me to be there long. After being trained in very random things and actually catching up, they decided to let me go. In that firing room, they said I could at least use them as a reference. I didn't believe them. So I hired someone from Fiverr to call them as a recruiter to ask them what they thought of me as an employee, and they claimed to not even know me or anyone by my name having worked there. So yeah, crappy experience.

Thank you for submitting this review. We are saddened to hear that you were not satisfied with your training and onboarding. Over the past 2 years, we have expanded tremendously on our training department called Eagle Academy. We now have a Learning Management System consisting of several training courses to guide new employees through their first few weeks at Americaneagle.com. We have also developed a mentorship system where a mentor or manager meets with the new employees at the 30/60/90 day and 6 month and 9 month mark along with weekly meetings to review the new employee’s customized onboarding plan based on the projects they are assigned and their current skillset. We are sorry to hear that you felt it necessary to hire a 3rd party to get our thoughts on your performance. It is possible that your call may have been directed to the wrong person, unable to verify your employment. Please know that even still you can reach out to us at humanresources@americaneagle.com if you have any concerns you wish to address to us directly.
