Burlington Stores reviews

I got fired from Burlington for being out of work for a week and a half with the flu. I was sick to the point I ended up in the hospital. When I was better I told them I could come back to work. I even offered to get a note from my doctor. They told me they would try to put me back on the schedule. I didn’t find out I was fired until almost two months not being on the schedule. The company sent me a email asking me to survey on why I quit even though I didn’t. I ended up taking it by explaining to them what actually happened. They also were hiring new people all the time. They barely scheduled the people they already had because of it. I know now to never work in any of Burlington's stores ever again.

This place only hires part time with no benefits yet you will work your butt off. They have a skeleton crew which means you are usually the only cashier or sales associate on the entire floor. People call in sick or don't even bother to show up yet they are still employed there. Company has a "point" system-you get a half a point for every time you are late and 1 point for calling in sick on a weekday and 2 for a weekend day. If you're really sick come to work anyway and stay for at least a half an hour so you don't receive any points. Meanwhile you are exposing your customers and fellow employees to whatever illness you might have. Was told they are fair with the closing hours but they aren't. Seems the same people always close. If you want time off you have to put it in the system at least 3 weeks ahead of the day. No time off during the holidays and everyone has to work the weekends. The store closes at 9:30 (you stay until 10 most nights for "recovery") every day regardless of the time the mall closes. So that means if the mall closes at 6 on Sunday you are still stuck at work until the manager releases you. The only nice part of the job are the co-workers.
