SASR Workforce Solutions reviews

It's obvious that the "in crowd" are all the upper managers/directors/VPs. 4 days in office, it's plain to see that the CEO does not trust his employees to have real flexibility and to do their jobs from home. Even during Covid, everyone had to come in because the CEO cares more about having eyes on his employees than any consideration about people's health or families. Everyone is busy because it's a small team so people have to wear multiple hats, however you won't be compensated for your extra hard work. Be prepared to come in early and stay late if needed. Vacation policy is okay for manager level and above, standard/bad for everyone else. For a company where the work is not exciting, the pay average, and being a relatively no-name company, you would think they would have some additional benefits to keep people, but they don't. And they wonder why people leave the moment a better opportunity presents itself. People at the top will keep getting promotion after promotion, yet there is no growth for employees joining in entry or mid level roles. Definitely the type of place you work a year or 2 and then bounce.

There are some pros and cons to this place but overall the cons outweigh the pros. The job description states you will work a standard 8-5, however that is not the case. Most roles require you to be available nearly 24/7 and work weekends. Days can also be very stressful. This makes sense given the nature of retail, but the pay does not make any of this worth it and should be mentioned before employees are hired on with a false notion of work life balance. Secondly, the culture at SASR is poor at best. The amount of gossiping and unprofessional behavior from leaders to their reports is shocking. There is also a noticeable lack of respect in almost all areas. This is a company where it seems that you are not promoted based on work ethic, but favoritism. Lastly, I feel that there needs to be some diversity & inclusion training among leaders. Last year there was a weight loss competition (held by HR…) which consisted of weekly weigh ins and rewarding the department that lost the most weight. I am suprised that no one thought about how inappropriate this was. I hope this feedback is helpful.
