Pros

Altar'd State is a Christian based company, so I really love how there are crosses for sale, devotion books, and Bible verses around the store. The clothing is really cute and I am obsessed with the home accessories and candles! Employees get a 40% discount which is AMAZING and a 50% discount at Christmas. Altar'd State really shows they care about everyone who works for them. I love working here and it really is a great environment.

Cons

The only negative I can say is that sometimes it feels like the store changes too much at times. For example, I am all for re-doing everything when new shipment comes in, but this often involves also moving tables, rugs, chairs and changing shelving units. This would be fine on occasion, but every time the store gets a "face-lift" we have to change all of the sections, all of the shelving units and switch where everything is located. For example, instead of putting new shipment out in the romantic section and making it look new, fresh and beautiful, we have to first but romantic where bohemian was and bohemian where modern was and modern where the second bohemian was. This does not make much sense to me. I was in the store for an 11-3 shift one day, and then came back at 10 the same evening and was working until 9:30 the next morning because of this. The reason I had to stay the whole night is because pictures were due to corporate by 8 in the morning.

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.
