Savers Store Operations reviews

Everything, every single aspect of this job comes down to quotas and efficiencies. It's a very physically and emotionally demanding job. The regional directors are so disconnected and yet always ask for more or will visit your store once a year and have the most unrealistic feedback for you (many times leaving the district managers confused as well). As a manager, your job is to watch every movement of your employees to make sure you meet labor efficiencies. Labor efficiencies and KPI's are very normal for all business, but Savers is unrealistic about efficiencies. It is also a very dirty and unsafe work environment, especially if you work in CDC (donation center) or production. You very often (including managers) have to work with large trash (compactors, large dumpsters, large metal containers) and stack donation bags and boxes into a large trailer. It is a very hard job.

The standard contract is 39 hours, but on signing the contract it is underwritten that you agree to work over 48 hours the legal total that employment law allows, unless you sign your rights away! On average you could work 30 hours over this each week, as the manager you are salaried so this is not paid!
