Horrible management and toxic work environment. Altar'd State talks a big talk of religious values, positivity, and caring for employees. But this company is run on scare tactics and verbal abuse. The seem to believe selling clothing requires as much life dedication and intensity as brain surgery. Nothing is ever done well enough and you can never work enough hours to make management happy. When guests walk in they see peppy, happy workers because we are literally fired if we do not behave that way. The CEO places highest important on "secret shops" which are guests who are payed to shop in the store then submit a review to management. Any score below a 90 is considered failing and they will immediately ask for your resignation if you fail, regardless of the rest of your performance. DO NOT work for this company, it strips you of dignity, identity, joy, and peace. The company is also very clearly starting to go under and instead of motivating employees, they are yelling and blaming and taking everybody down with them.
