Let’s Talk About It!
To start, I spent the first eight months working on a “special project” that was not apart of my job duties nor what I signed on to do when hired. Majority of the work that fell into Assortment Planning was not an AP job. It was usually a store planning or supply chain job but they want more “competent/able-bodied” people to complete the tasks. There’s No work life balance; they expect you to work 13+ hours/day and weekends for some “initiative” that’s never ending. They promise you a bonus and don’t deliver. I was promised a bonus for working on this special project and my manager hadto apologize because he couldn’t follow through with it.
They Only give you two holidays off (thanksgiving and Christmas) Any other holiday, you have to use your own PTO.
Relocation terms (they will gross up the relocation fee in order to instill fear in you that you won’t leave before 18 months). Of the team I worked on, in less than a year more than half the team had left or moved into another department! Management was the worst I ever experienced, training was essentially non existent and communication lacked significantly. And if you leave before 18 months, they won’t mention that you’ll owe a relocation fee in your exit interview. They know the job is trash and this is how they recoup losing associates left and right. People on my team were having meetings with HR almost every week to talk about how unacceptable things were happening on the team and HR never did anything to amend the situation.
Do yourself a favor and save yourself the time, heartache, and depression and DO NOT ACCEPT a job offer here. The pay is not worth it. Trust Me.
