Pros

What originally attracted me to this company was the motto used to represent who we are and that’s “stand out for good.” I have worked in retail since I was old enough to do so, and what I’ve learned is that it’s always about growing the business. However, Altar’d State opened my eyes to more than that and showed me a company that has a heart. We are a place that has a bigger purpose of growing our business. One that isn’t about the personal gain, but about the impact we can make locally and around the world. Who would have thought you could make such a huge difference in the world through selling a beautiful dress?! I love that we are about helping others and making a difference! This company puts people first and just as much as the guest is valued, so are the employees. Altar’d State asks for continuous feedback in ways that it can grow and become better for the people they employ and they strive daily to put things into the works for making it happen. I’ve never had better benefits anywhere else and they continue to add to these! During this difficult time of uncertainties in our world, I’ve found how truly blessed I am to work for a company led by a man that is led by his faith. Aaron Walters is more than a man of words, but a man of selfless actions.

Cons

No matter where you work, there will be cons. I believe that cons are a matter of perspective and the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Altar’d State is a younger company and has it’s growing pains, but it’s important to know that they’re getting better with age.

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.
