Altar'd State reviews

In my opinion, this company is operated in a manner that is the polar opposite of their marketing. Take a minute to look over the positive reviews on this site (what few there are). You'll notice that " you're expected to work hard" is a common theme. That's because it seems that the owners believe that if you aren't successful it's because you didn't work hard enough. My experience was that they are quick to assign blame rather than accept any responsibility for their own missteps or not allocating resources to achieve what are usually unrealistic goals. If the numbers don't make the CEO happy that particular day, or he's simply in a bad mood, you are out of luck. It's a roller coaster of good and bad feedback from leadership but the negative is much more frequent. 1% is not an impressive amount to "give back", but boy do they pat themselves on the back about it. Here's an idea, give 100% of your money directly to charity. It will go much farther than the 1% Altar'd State writes off each year.

A classic case of saying one thing and doing another. Biblically, when you are outspoken about being a Christian (or representing that company's "Christian" values), you really have to set a better example that would have you be more accountable to Christ. I saw the mistreatment of many individuals. I also recall meetings where the top brass would humiliate individuals during certain rants in the corporate office. Reading the current reviews online, it looks like things haven't changed. They are obviously all about the money (not that theres anything wrong with that). The goal was always to get to 50 stores as quickly as they could, so management could sell their stake in an established national brand.
