See's Candies reviews

- Very old / vintage building structure (not like SF downtown office buildings) - No appreciation, No Respect for your efforts - They don't care what's the realistic time for projects, no one can say "no" or "need more time" -- Manager would make you read the job description to blame on you for not able to handle multiple projects -- she would say everything is easy, she's helping you grow -- but you never see her doing anything and she keeps making mistakes at Photoshop - Very vintage creative style - No realistic training - the manager only gave intro but doesn't tell you difference of the various brands, she expects people to go figure out and likes to say "you put the project in risk" when you've tried hard enough without training - Got super slow digital management tool, always had to download huge files - Terrible Management -- created terrible ticket system, worse than working at factories - Process the manager set for doing projects and reviews' not efficient - Daily morning meetings were wasting time - Don't tell realistic job duties until your first day (such as go to stores to work on valentine's day, christmas, special event for Buffett, don't tell you that you have to set 30-min. interviews with many people in many departments while giving you a lot of tight deadlines in the beginning... keep you unaware of many things, too much sudden things that were not mention in job description nor interviews.) - You have to work outside the room that your boss and other manager's gossiping about you, you have to listen while trying to focus on tight-deadline projects - Don't care about employee's work-life balance - Don't care about employee's health

-middle management tends to be very stressed out and often it gets taken out on employees -seasonal workers work extremely hard and take the brunt of the difficulties of the holidays -chances of being kept on after holidays are slim to none -the uniform for female workers is only flattering if you are VERY thin. It looks bad on bigger girls, and is quite restrictive around the bust. The uniform requires pantyhose, which tears so much due to snagging on boxes, kneeling to stock low shelves, etc that most have had to replace it 3-5 times on average every holiday season worked. This really adds up, and the company doesn't pay for it. There is also the fact that because it's a dress, it causes excessive male gaze to be directed at female employees, which is uncomfortable. It is so dated that employees are embarrassed to walk around during break because of the stares and laughs. -management will harshly reprimand you for having "timeliness issues" if you are even 30 seconds late to punch in on the computer. If someone held up the bathroom, you got stuck talking, or someone was standing in your way, too bad. You are considered to have a "lateness problem"! -interestingly enough, mgmt will often expect/demand you to stay later than scheduled, or come in to cover unscheduled shifts on a dime. If you are not able to do so, you may be shuffled down to low priority and given way less hours the next week. Unfortunately passive agressive behavior like this seems to be very common at See's
