Altar'd State reviews

Horrible management, very catty, a lot of drama, too many managers that play favorites and do not care to learn about employees

At first I loved this company. I thought I found my forever home in retail that I could grow in. I loved everything we stood for and all the charities we got to help .... but quickly I realized this company cares more about everyone else other than they’re employees. If you’re a store manager it’s great, you get taken on trips and gifts and literally get told your ASM’s should do everything for you. As an ASM you have 0 work life balance. You’re expected to take on you’re job plus the store managers; as they are never really there. They only take credit for the good things on store visits but pass the blame to the ASM’s for anything that goes wrong. The pay is terrible, it isn’t even close to what most retailers are and probably isn’t even minimum wage once you work you 45-50 hour weeks. There’s no comfort in going to DM’s over in-store issues because they will send it straight to the problem instead of ever taking your side or hearing you out. As far as getting promoted.... FORGET IT. They will have you running a high volume store for your missing SM weeks on end but say you can’t take a location you deserve because you have to start out at “low volume”... then why are we running this innovation store right now without our “leader”. Long story short, if you want to feel valued, grow, or have any kind of life—don’t come here.
