Pros

No Positives in any shape or form.

Cons

This is hands down the worst company I have ever worked for in my years of retail management. Zero work life balance, more all nighters than anyone should ever have to do without proper staffing hours to complete or help from upper management, and upper management that says one thing and does another. I was shocked with the amount of disorganization and carelessness that comes from a company that claims Christian values. Upper management consistently changes things without any notice and then bully's managers into working on unrealistic tasks. This company is a joke and has no values or morals. Do yourself a favor and do not apply. They recently asked managers to add positive reviews so they didn't look so bad on here. That should tell you everything you need to know.

Thanks for your submission and we appreciate your insight! As a former Store Manager, we hope that you recognize that our give back programs, volunteerism efforts, and partnerships with countless local organizations across the country are ways in which AS supports the communities in which we live and work. 40 hr scheduled required workweeks, reduced medical and health care costs, 4 week paid sabbatical programs, paid volunteerism hours, and a Student Debt repayment program are all part of our ongoing commitment to our associates' growth and development. In no way has the Company added or changed any reviews. The value of a site like Glass Door is that associates all have an equal voice and opportunity to share their experiences. We wish you much success in the future and a terrific holiday! Thanks Again for taking the time to respond!

Pros

Literally nothing, can’t think of one positive thing

Cons

I’ve been with the company for years and watching its continuous downfall has become almost comical. Two years ago we took major pay cuts (like 15%) because of the economy but this year they sent us to the Virgin Islands on this over the top meeting that must have cost a fortune. I’d rather have the money in my bank versus a trip I was forced to go on with senior leadership that are absolute horrific people in general and evil businesses people. It all felt like a big propaganda event with tons of videoing and picture taking so they could come home and post all over linked in and social media about how WONDERFUL it is to work there. Don’t even get me started on the new Little House on the Prairie denim dresses we have to wear because they hire managers that aren’t even strong enough to coach to a dress code. How can you run a store if you can’t even tell someone what they’re wearing inappropriate? Instead now we look like a bunch of little followers of the cult everyone already says it is. As long as we say we “stand out for good” at every opportunity it must mean it’s true right? To know who else brainwashed people into thinking bad things are good for them? CULT LEADERS.
