J. McLaughlin Doesn't Care About It's Store Managers - Store Manager J. Mclaughlin Employee Review

Where do I begin: 1. Terrible internal communication. Expect to be told to do something by 3 different people, 3 different ways. LOL! 2. Horrible benefits. I couldn't afford their benefits. I had to buy insurance outside of the company. This certianly is hard on me and my family. Only 1 week vacation...even for tenured Managers- non-negotiable! Expect to work all holidays, even if other stores around you are closed. 3. Managers are treated poorly, certainly not respected. 4. You have no voice and they patronize instead of coaching. 5. If you have experience you report to management that has a lot less experience, and who aren't business savy. Example: your store must be open on holidays even if you have sold $0 past years AND your the only store open in the neighborhood. 6. Expect to be open on religious holidays....Easter. I still can't believe it, even as I'm typing it. 7. Sales goals are unrealistic. 8. Hard to make goal when you receive 1 dress in 1 size. Ordering doesn't make sense. Easy to see how at the end of the day, you won't like the company. Too bad! If they would have invested in their employees they could have achieved so much more. It's my opinion the J. McLaughlin brothers beleive that the majority of women working for them don't need benefits, they'll get it from their spouses.
