Savers reviews

- Don't expect to be given a raise until your first year. (And reviews are always 3 months late.) Two years ago, they gave 3 month and 6 month reviews. On your 6 month review they would raise you. I was one of the last lucky few who was able to get a 25c raise after 6 months. - Very dirty work conditions in the back which are unsafe. People get stabbed by heroin needles when they sort bags. If you get Hep C... I am not sure if the company would really do anything to support you. - You'll have reoccurring colds and respiratory problems, as well as skin issues. - You are on your feet for up to 10/hrs a day standing on cement. -If you are sick, you must bring in a doctors note or risk being written up. The insurance they have is also not worth it because it takes almost $100 out of your paycheck a month and pays for hardly anything. -Quota's are absolutely insane. They want over 5000 items priced in clothing a day plus more in housewares, shoes etc. -You will be forced to work overtime. If you do not come in on Saturday and sometimes even Sunday after already working a 40+ hour week, expect to be written up. -Expect to be written up for very petty things. It all just depends on how they feel that day. -You are never "doing your best" in the eyes of the production manager unless you suck up to them. - No one is able to buy anything that has been on the floor for under 48 hours. This came into effect Feb '12 - I felt bad for my store manager because they had little control over many big decisions. -The company SELLS clothes to 3rd world countries. Just because you are poor does not mean you want to wear American clothing with holes in them. They are not donated. -The company buys clothing from non-profit partners that are not within their community but then acts like all of the clothing is local and donated. They send trailers from all over the country to different stores. -All of the recent changes in corporate rules have made it very very difficult for elderly folks who have been with the company for years. I feel the most for them.

They will try to convince you that you're all a big "family", but when it comes down to it they don't really care about you personally. Unless you kiss managements ass. If you're a good, hard worker that doesn't kiss ass you will just be exploited and expected to work harder - with no real recognition. I had 3 really good reviews within one year of being there, but only made 70 cents in raises, which was a slap in the face because after a year I was still only making about $1.00 more than minimum wage in our state.
