Ocean State Job Lot reviews

pay rate is low, employee recognition isn't as good as it could be. It's a huge place (the warehouse) and should have employee recognition by department, I think. We have temps and some have been with us for many years (on and off) and are excellent workers and should have been hired long ago. I don't know how they chose people they hire, but the ones who get hired are usually useless. But they MIGHT have been good temps...see "advice to management" this could explain the lethargy in workers.

From the moment you are hired they are looking for ways to get rid of you. Impossible to get time off. You could put a request in a month in advanced and would get anger from all upper management. Get told after request ok'ed that no you can not have it and the slips you write it on goes missing because you are not allowed to take them for yourself. Everything would change day to day. Depending on if the DM or the RM came if word was that one would come it would be walking on egg shells. No one would take responsibility for them selfs. Blame would be put to the person under them. Not enough staffing at all. Cutting hours then wondering why customers walk out. Had gone to management for almost 2 years over an associate who would cuss at shoppers hide in the bathroom for at least an hour a shift and yet nothing would be done. Any questions to management would result in them telling you I don't know call customer service all over returning a 5 dollar item. No chance for a promotion no matter what they tell you.. You will get the run around even from the DM's. Not worth your time as a full time job at all. Part time job it's not that bad.
