Pros

Altar’d State is one of the best and most passionate retail brands I’ve ever worked for! I started working for the brand back in 2016 and over the past couple of years, the company has grown more than anyone could imagine. The brand values all opinions of employees, all the way down to a brand representative level. I started as a Visual Assistant Leader and came from a very coroporate brand. AS really opened my eyes to being a true creative and truly helping me understanding the impact I have on the 4 walls of my business. I love the personal connections my team is able to build with our local non profits and even our sponsor children in Peru - and the company really helps making you feel fulfilled within the give back parts of this business, and this is a big driver for me and keeps me passionate. There is also so much growth potential with AS! I have worked in 4 different stores in the past 2.5 years and worked my way up through volume tiers before feeling 100% ready to take on my own store! If you have the drive to grow the opportunity is there!

Cons

There aren’t many! Like any other retailer there are always struggles and frictions and that comes with learning and growing, not only within each store but as a brand. I have found that if you aren’t passionate about growth and dedicated to a bigger cause AS isn’t always the right fit. But if you have that passion, this brand is the right brand to work for.

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.
