The store I work at is super cliquey- I am relatively new (two months) and never encountered such unpleasant work conditions at a job in which seemed like the dream to counteract with my full time job. Unfortunately after this holiday season I will be quitting.
I have a hearing impairment and not only am I getting shut out of conversations from coworkers, but management as well. They have no disability instruments for radios, so I often have a tough time with anything radio related since sometimes I cannot hear. Often also left doing the grunt work of closing the store while the closing manager on duty talks up a storm with the other apparel associates on shift- aware that I am straightening apparel myself on more than three occasions. Although all cons mentioned above besides disability tools for the hearing impaired are store related and not an overall fault of Dicks- but one value that led me to apply here was that you prided yourself on inclusivity and diversity- don’t know if I’m the first hearing impaired associate at Dick’s but until there are some support tools set in place, I wouldn’t encourage anyone else who had a disability to apply here.
