Interesting place to work - Anonymous employee SASR Workforce Solutions Employee Review

There are some pros and cons to this place but overall the cons outweigh the pros. The job description states you will work a standard 8-5, however that is not the case. Most roles require you to be available nearly 24/7 and work weekends. Days can also be very stressful. This makes sense given the nature of retail, but the pay does not make any of this worth it and should be mentioned before employees are hired on with a false notion of work life balance. Secondly, the culture at SASR is poor at best. The amount of gossiping and unprofessional behavior from leaders to their reports is shocking. There is also a noticeable lack of respect in almost all areas. This is a company where it seems that you are not promoted based on work ethic, but favoritism. Lastly, I feel that there needs to be some diversity & inclusion training among leaders. Last year there was a weight loss competition (held by HR…) which consisted of weekly weigh ins and rewarding the department that lost the most weight. I am suprised that no one thought about how inappropriate this was. I hope this feedback is helpful.
