Altar'd State reviews

To be honest this is a company I will never want to work for again. The DMs harass you all day every day, they don't know how to leave you alone. If you have a unexpected visit the DMs freak out. You work like a slave and no one cares if you almost kill over. Everyone complains about work life balance and it's true. It's a joke so don't think you will get it. The window sets my team always cries because the are exhausted and have worked their butts off. The VDM comes after and gripes at you because she doesn't like it but it looks just like the photo. DMs are sometimes dumb because you send them a email about a situation and days later they are like what happen, why didn't you tell me. Haha in my head I'm like if you read my damn email you would know. DM and home office claim they care about their employees and they don't so don't be fooled. Recruiters promise all this crap that you never see so don't get sucked in. The company keeps a lot of bad people and get rid of the good ones. You will never be appreciate it so don't count on it. Regional managers are rude and mean and they don't care about you they just want to see that you're making money and all your metrics are green when that's not always realistic. Come join the company only at your own risk.

Salaried positions aren't paid very well when considering that you will be working well over 40 hours every week and literally doing the equivalent of 3 people's jobs. Turnover rate is very high and working mostly with younger girls in school brings unnecessary drama and distractions. You will constantly have to recruit hire and train in a never ending process and still not retain a core team. Company does not like to promote within. Wherever you start is most likely where you will stay. Every store has a set number of hours given based on the sales plan. If you are making more than your sales plan, you will not get more hours to schedule no matter how busy it gets. This goes back to getting stuck with 3 people running a store with 50 guests in it at any given time trying to give each one a special experience. When other stores need manager coverage, it doesn't come out of their payroll so if you work 50 hours at your store and 20 hours at another store within a week, you are still getting your salary as if you worked 40 hours. You will have to also drive to the bank every morning for deposits and change orders which I was definitely uncomfortable with for security and loss prevention reasons. HR hiring process is a nightmare. It will take a month after a successful interview for your background check and application to process before you are able to start working. That goes for any position in the store. It's unwise for the store manager to not be able to get associates into the system within a few days to start working. This also made recruiting hard. Overall there are so many inefficiencies that make this a terrible company to work for. It is all masked by the idea that it is a company doing good for the world when its really just a big tax write-off.
