Disappointing. I wanted to work my way up but in the end it was a waist of my time. - Lead Sales Tillys Employee Review

First off I want to say that I really did love my job at one point. I believed in the company and had every intent of working my way up as a long term employee. As a lead a was given a time frame from our DM to have a job as a manager. My time came and then the store manager hired an outside assistant. That's the whole reason I left. I worked my butt off for 3 years. Went through all my management training. Excelled at it an not to mention in the month of August alone I brought in 29k. Then to add to the annoyance, my store manager asked me to help train the new girl who had to learn everything. Again even if it was some one else in our store other then me, doesn't it make most sense to just promote some one who knows the job instead of waist in payroll to train a whole new outside employee? I would say very little to no employee appriciation. They have a "tillys shout out" used to be called "rtp's" but essentially it's a stupid piece of paper that they use as a reward. Same with employee of the month. They used to give gift cards to the employee of the month but stopped. They are "competitive" with pay but only when they hire from outside. When you get promoted up they don't offer as much as when recruited in. Sales stealing from cashiers. There have been many a day when cashiers have taken other employee sales and nothing was done about it. the store manager in fact still kept giving the girl tons of hour based off her sales, when the majority of her sales were other associates.
