This is a long review. But after being an employee for many years. I wanted to caution anyone that applies.
I was a very Faithful & Hard Working employee for years before Covid
(Mgmt always complimented me on my work ethic & dedication).
I covered Multiple territories during COVID (when they had very few employees)
*I never contracted COVID.
Once the Pandemic was over. My mother became Deathly ill for several months but I continued to work between her Hospital & Dr. visits.- Yes I was exhausted, but I was committed to my job.
Once COVID was over (while my mom was recovering). My manager decided that I wasn't dedicated enough and began to Strip me of my designated territory. ( I went from 30+ hrs to roughly 5 hrs)
Even after saying Premium would work w/ me.
I began contacting Upper mgmt & even Human Resources to help me regain my "dedicated" stores.
To no avail NO ONE tried to help me in anyway. I even tried to apply for other jobs (after being there for many years) I was Constantly Rejected. They wouldn't even put me in the applicant pool. However I know for a fact people who were less qualified continued to prosper over me. *feel free to read in between the lines.
I already understand corporate America & how it works.
But nevertheless I was very upset with how I was Treated after so many years of Dedication.
*they only have gave me a .15 yes, "fifteen cent" raise after COVID and I had to beg for that. *my manager "claimed" he had to Fight to get me that raise ???
Eventually it hurt me so bad I started questioning my own self worth (after having 20+ years of Merchandising experience).
If you decide to work for this company. Please have absolutely no expectations. Because they "Claim" they are a company that cares. (ACOSTA) purchased them later.
But PLEASE go into this job expecting no pay raises, no promotions (unless your personal friends w/ mgmt) & Do not trust them if they tell you they understand about any Health related situations.
