Pros

Altar'd State gave me some of the best moments, memories, and friendships I have ever had. The hours were good, the pay was good - considering it was a retail job, and I was able to grow into a higher position within a year of working there. It is a lot of hard work at times, especially during the Holidays and big sales and mark downs, but the people you work with and the guests you encounter make up for all the rough days! They push customer service as number one, which is how it should be. The upper, corporate management are some of the nicest and most genuine people you will meet and they look out for their employees and wants what is best for the company. My favorite thing of all, though, was getting to work with all the Mission Monday organizations and being able to give back to the community. Many retailers are doing that now days, but AS was one of the only retailers to really put it out there and expand on it and made it their real goal.

Cons

It could get overwhelming at times, like during the Holidays and big sales. We did not get out until two hours after the close of the 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.
