Pros

Guests-our customers are the most incredible people, and I have walked away with lifelong friendships Co workers-the relationships I built at Altar’d State will be with me forever, and I am so lucky!

Cons

No work life balance-scheduling part time seasonal employees 40 hour weeks, and blaming them once they speak up. Extremely Low Pay-the going rate of. guest lead is $17 an hour, a harsh fall from the past $21 we used to be given. No understanding from Management-nothing could ever be her fault, both from my store leader and district leader. Poor girls who had no experience or knowledge were thrown under the bus consistently. Unrealistic expectations-200 orders per day, containing 6 items each were expected to be finished by a team of two EOD. Horrible Communication from CEO Unprofessional Management Nepotism in promotions Extreme Bias from District Leaders

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.
