Cons
The manager. I didn't realize that boyfriends were allowed to accompany us during floor-set/windows. Or that they may go into our back room to use our computer to plan vacation trips. Or you know make out in the middle of the stock room. This tends to make our girls extremely uncomfortable. She claims to be flexible with schedules: mind you most of our girls are in college/high school- but once she gets fed up trying to work around different people she will just completely stop scheduling you for weeks. Claiming that you aren't making sales, but then again how can one sell if not scheduled. She leaves early to go to diners with family and schedules herself at 8:30am but won't show up till 9:40am. Mind you she has an opener waiting for her outside. Constant calls on work phone from boyfriend, and will completely leave for 30+ min in the back working on the "schedule for next week". Gets mad at key-holders for not picking up her slack, and will pretend to clock out for lunch and then take an hour lunch. She claims she loves the store but makes excuses and expects her keys to do it with out notice and immediately. If one ask for days off (5 months ahead of time) make sure to remind her immediately because she will claim no one ever told her. Honestly I would have loved working here even more but she drove me over the edge. The one great manager made one simple mistake and gets fired but our current lies her way and gets what she wants. Most of the girls were always so scared to work with her. We lost so many great teams due to her being so inflexible and rude. It a shame that after so long it ended like this. And then there's the hours. I understand the need to make the store look great. But understand where your stores are located, where our is the center closes at 9 and all the others workers leave by 9:30-10pm. I have call security every other night and have them walk us to our cars because we get some sketchy people lurking at night. Talk about safety... We're usually done by 9:45 and I had to find mediocre jobs to make up time. Once again most of my girls are in either high school and college. And we never got our new policy handbook.
