Most unprofessional place to work for

Pros

Most of the sales associates are nice and love animals.

Cons

Management is very unprofessional and act like 12 year olds when you want to have a serious conversation with them. I had a few times the door practically shut in my face when I wanted to address certain problems. Gotten talked down to many times as well. They do not know how to communicate. They also tell female sales associates to take shopping bags away from shop lifters. Management does not care for the associates safety. As much as you address it they really do not care. They also threaten associates with "points". If you earn 11 points you are fired. If you call out sick and bring a doctors note you will still get a point taken away from you. Not a single person I work with is happy. I wish people would start sticking up for themselves more. I just think they are afraid of losing their job. Managers love to knock fear into their associates. I hardly see anyone get any praise for a great job they have done. There are no Christmas bonuses either. The pay is horrible and you will never make it far.
