Pros

I love my job. I love being able to inspire the wonderful, beautiful women I work with on a daily basis. When my store closed down, I was absolutely honored that I got a call to come back to the new store they were building. That made me feel valued as an employee. I love encouraging women with the fashion that I pick out for them and making their days better with our Altar'd State values and our promise to Stand Out. For Good. Aaron Walters is the MOST caring CEO I have ever worked for. He is constantly rewarding us with incentives to do better and continue working hard

Cons

I've loved my job here and was promised the opportunity for growth. However, continuously my growth in the company feels neglected. I really want the chance to become an assistant Manager and was promised that my current manager would help me so that I can be ready when the time comes, yet I'm always asked "if you don't get it, will you leave?" I just want the chance to grow because I LOVE this company and I know the brand and I can do it.

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.
