Burlington Stores reviews

Burlington is a terrible company. Corporate is corrupt, they do not care about their employees or stores. They constantly try to get out of paying you what you are owed for the hours / overtime you have worked and vacations that you had PTO for. Also if you try to reach out to HR for any problems, you will then be met with retaliation for saying anything to begin with. Burlington ultimately doesn't care about its employees, and treats them like disposable pieces of machinery to be used and discarded whenever it suits their needs.. They care more about their (upper managements) own comfort and security than taking care and supporting the people that they're supposed to be serving. This company is so shady. Also they love to eliminate hard working peoples positions, and then keep the lazy people who do no work, bc when instead of assessing who merits being cut, they love to go off of seniority. Terrible company, with terrible corporate. I have rated them 1 star, but in all reality, they don't even deserve a 1/2 star rating.

Pretty much everything! Region 30 and T5 are a joke! Unless you are from Macy's, forget about getting promoted or even given a second thought. Since the SVP, RVP, and Vice President all worked together at Macy's, they are trying to turn Burlington into a Macy's, which is slowly going out of business. Every detail of every day is micro managed to the extreme, all the while the regional team does whatever they please. Most days are spent doing manual labor while waiting for a phone call or email telling you how bad of a job you're doing. The regional team has no idea what it is like to run a store in the current economic environment, even though 2 of them have run stores in the past when their stores had twice the amount of payroll to do so. Store managers are treated like hourly associates even though most have worked extremely hard to get to the store manager level with Burlington and/or other companies. There is ZERO trust by the company leadership that store managers can actually run their stores properly. The stark reality is that the regional team expects SM's to be available 24/7, yet they are working M-F shooting off emails expecting immediate responses while in the comfort of their own homes. Forget about going to HR for anything, which is a common response from your social media representatives..... It doesn't work and actually makes things worse! The reality is that if you sell your soul to Burlington, you might be okay, but not likely.
