Pros

40% off of apparel, 20% off of home accessories Fellow Associates were kind Kind customers

Cons

Say goodbye to and social life or free time. Call-in shifts will make it impossible for you to plan anything, you are expected to call in an hour before your shifts. Horrible hours, you can be working 30 hours one week and 4 hours the next Ludicrous Closing hours, if you close expect to be there 3 hours after closing Display and floor set has crazy hours and expectations, You get there at 3am and will leave around 12pm or 1pm. Managers where all horrible, they either talk down to you and baby you or are rude and unhelpful I cried several times because of managers being insanely rude. One incident was i had asked off weeks in advance because my brother was coming to visit from Afghanistan and was still scheduled, I called to say I wasn't coming in and was verbally abused by a manger. I will never even shop at Altard State again. Every time I would verbalize my struggles with a manager to our Store Manager she would just shrug it of as "oh shes just funny like that" So much for being a christian store.

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.
