A Circus of Bad Management and Awful Coworkers, and Bad Business Practices. - Merchandiser SAS Retail Services Employee Review

1. I was hired part time, but was suddenly working 40 hours a week, every week. 2. We are given massive work loads that would have us working 12 hour days and then management will get upset at us for working overtime. 3. If we don't work overtime resulting in a missed dead line, management will still get mad at us. 4. Planograms are sloppily made often with the pictures having improperly sized items, overlapped items. This translates to the text part of the plan as inaccurate shelf spacing, to many items on a shelf, and not enough items on a shelf. 5. SAS pays the just above the bear minimum allowed by a state. Meaning that there are so many better options that many desperate people take the job. Some of these people are the worst scum a person can be without breaking the law, others just have terrible work habits they, never show up, come in intoxicated, mouthing off to team leaders/Store staff, fist fighting, or leave a mess in the aisle when they leave. 6. To deal with the High turnover problem, SAS has been bringing in temps and contractors. Most of whom are untrained and haven't been orientated at all. They only stay a short time so training them is wasted effort as they spend the better part of their time with us making rookie mistakes. They are also often mandated to leave at an exact time, or so they say, regardless of job completion. Many barely put in effort and are ultimately kicked out by team leaders. I have spent many long hours cleaning messes left by people that just don't care. 7. SAS does not actually vet its applicants, if that wasn't already obvious by the employee behavior. They don't vet experience or training either and many go in with no orientation and no training. Thus, Team Leaders have to pick up the slack- that is why so many of them quit. 8. Recently SAS increased its wages by three dollars an hour, for incoming employees. everyone else is still at the same low wages they started with. 9. Also there are no benefits.
