Pros
Working at Altar'd State has brought me so many new friendships and I am forever thankful for that. My team and managers are great and they try their best to make us happy.
Cons
Where do I even begin.... I was hired on as a Brand Rep in beginning of April of 2014. I have been here for over a year and STILL have not received a raise (currently making 7.25). I used to balance 2 jobs and high school. And let me tell you, Altard State ALWAYS came first. I loved what the company was about. (emphasis on "was") When I was hired on, I was told they do 6 month evaluations (don't let them fool you, THEY DONT). I worked my butt off, and was even made a captain of a section. Let me remind you, i was 17 and balancing all of this out, I would stay past my shift to make sure stuff got done, and even came in for the 5am floor set the morning after Christmas. The company even considered staying open on thanksgiving... This company says they are all about faith and giving back, well how about you care for the employees who got you where you are. The turnover rate is horrendous, nobody wants to work hard all for nothing. After about 8 months, I decided to take matters into my own hands, I emailed the district manager, what a surprise, no response. This company only worries about their new 3 million dollar stores and totally forgets about the "old ones". They constantly take our mangers out and send them to the new stores for weeks at a time. It's heartbreaking to think so highly of a store and now think so poorly of it. The cleaning lists don't ever end, how about you pay us for what we are worth?? Oh crap, I forgot, too busy on their charter plane.
