I was hired for a store as it was opening and was let go, with half the staff, before opening because they overstaffed. - Sales Associate Tillys Employee Review

Pros

Pay was reasonable. Employees that were let go were given pay for all scheduled shifts, even though they couldn't work those shifts because of being let go.

Cons

The sales lead was rude to coworkers and allowed to do so by management, because she was friends with an assistant manager. The business morals are terrible, treating employees like garbage. Nonsense reason for letting employees go, "We're worried about your ability to do the job." All we had been doing was setting up the store, not our job of making sales.

Pros

- Enjoyed working with teens/young adults and building them up into the workforce/ teaching them responsibilities -Policies were awesome, but not always backed by upper management - Always pushing you to be better

Cons

- Upper management did not have equal expectations of stores/ lacked clear communication -PAY, they will pay someone who is hired external far more then they ever will an internal. Doesn’t matter how long you’re there. I was trained from a seasonal, all the way up and made far less than newer peers. They do not see as much value in internals which is so unfortunate for them. Did my 8 years and have a lot of resentment over this.
