Pros

The amount of people you, as an individual, can make smile is overwhelmingly amazing. Volunteering time and giving to others is life changing.

Cons

ZERO work life balance. All management levels are on a different page. The Christian views are not so Christian. You will work all hours of the day and through the night into the early morning. Management belittles you and you work under constant fear. Everything is a tax write off that is made to be an act of kindness or paying it forward and even worse it's exemplified as Christianity. You're given vacation time and told when you will take it and it's out unheard of to have a planned and approved vacation denied. The pay is not competitive, whatsoever. This company has no true morals or values they stand behind, it's all money and greed. The turnover rate should speak for itself. There is no such thing as an "off day". You will be called, emailed, texted and even told via voicemail that it's your business and you need to figure it out.

Thank you for your submission. We unfortunately couldn't disagree more with your review. When you speak about the schools we've built, health centers, adoption of children in Peru and the thousands of people we support and serve both locally and globally, your comment regarding Christianity and tax write offs is a sad commentary on what you took away from your time at Altar'd State. As a recently named Great Place to Work, our associates have also confirmed our commitment to them with competitive pay, bonus plans, training and development programs, paid time off, 30 day sabbaticals, Student Loan repayment program, and countless career opportunities. Our culture requires someone who is selfless and wants to stand out for good.. We wish you every success in 2019 and hope that you find a place and home that brings you peace and fulfillment. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190110005674/en/Altar’d-State-Certified-Great-Workplace-Great-Place

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.
