Pros

Consistent quarterly financial shortfalls have led to repeated drops in the stock price!

Cons

I'm disappointed to share my experience at Savers. Despite offering constructive feedback and suggestions to improve processes, my input was consistently overlooked. Additionally, I was unfairly placed on a performance plan, even though my performance metrics exceeded those of my primary counterpart. The team I was part of was chronically understaffed, despite repeated requests for additional resources. Meanwhile, other departments received regular new hires. The company culture is characterized by a lack of transparency, with no formal announcements regarding employee departures. The constant influx of irrelevant and distracting workplace chat further hinders productivity. High turnover rates, particularly at the store level, have led to inconsistent performance and a significant training gap. Many store employees lack basic computer skills, making it challenging to provide effective support. Furthermore, there's a clear bias in addressing employee concerns. While individual contributors are held to high standards, management seems to favor certain team members, often ignoring their shortcomings. It's disheartening to work in an environment where constructive criticism is not valued and employee well-being is not prioritized.

Pros

Discounts. Incredible coworkers. App they use for scheduling and pay is really nice. Always left on time. Relaxed dress code. Schedules came out early.

Cons

Doctor's notes aren't "a valid excuse for absence" ??? You cannot buy anything in the store unless it's been there for two days. The managers are untrained. They refuse to trespass people (even though one customer threw glass onto the floor in a fit of rage and TWICE a fellow coworker's stalker came in and they just had them hide in the back) Most of the managers don't really help on the floor. They refused to put me on registers despite us needing the help and me not only having checkout experience, but I'm also fully trained and capable of being on the register. They pushed my male coworker to the registers even though he didn't have any previous retail experience way sooner than they did me. Schedules would be put out so early you couldn't request time off if something came up.
