Pros

There are no pros to working for this company. Seriously. NONE.

Cons

As a current manager I can tell you that you are worked to death by the company with very little support or help. They pay very poorly when it comes to salary and expect you to put in ridiculous hours with NO appreciation whatsoever. Corporate has one mission: to make money. They claim to be a Christian company, and yet, ONLY 1% of profits actually go back to the people they claim to help. To me if you're going to claim Christ how about treating your employees better rather than working them until they're literally sick from lack of sleep. This company has the HIGHEST turnover rate for managers that I have EVER SEEN. It's insane how many managers are leaving across the company... I pity those that get hired not knowing what they're signing up for.

Pros

Altar'd State allowed each team to have fun with designing the store and how they dressed. Decent discount (but there should have been considering the mark up on the clothes). Monday's give back to a different non profit organization every week.

Cons

For as much as corporate expected from management pay was extremely low. This is also why almost everyone who works there is in high school and why they can't keep their employees. Promises from corporate about raises and bonuses are never received. The store always looks cheap or like a forever 21 (mainly because it's the same stuff) but the prices are expensive. If you are a manager you will work into overtime every week and will never be appreciated of your hard work. Pay roll was never given enough hours.

Pros

Altar'd State is an amazing place to work. I worked there almost 2 years as a Store Manager. Yes, there are growing pains. But, rewards and benefits from those pains do come. I've never worked for a Company that the CEO's listen to your feedback and you see the changes that you've requested within 6 months usually. You feel that you are valued and they care to change to make it a better environment for the team and the customers. The visuals, clothing, and the Giving Back.. Altar'd States Mission is amazing. I had a sense of worth every day I came to work. We were expected to go above and beyond with customer service which was fun and I gained many friends from my customers by doing this. Altar'd State is an experience. It's amazing. I was able to pronounce my faith, be around others with faith and grow in my faith. Altar'd State is just like any other retailers and you do have the same tasks and such and if there were any kinks, feedback was always listened to and fixed. It was really fun being part of a great company and witnessing the face paced change and the success!

Cons

The salaries to be more competitive with the retail market. Better job opportunity advancement without having to move.
