Sunglass Hut reviews

Certain stores have hard capped hours leading to individuals having absurdly low numbers of hours per week. 4-8 over two weeks. No real focus on mentoring or coaching trained to do the job and that’s it. But that’s also retail generally. Depending on the region you work that will shape your experience. Different regional managers different values, mine unfortunately was on the rougher side when it came to things like that and it showed in the quality of store mangers and general business practices that were pushed and accepted.

* Lack of follow-up development once you're on the path to management (performance reviews are very generic with no individual development plan to support how you can improve in the next year). * Expected to stand for 8+ hours a day, no sitting/leaning, etc. No cell-phones. * Managers are forced to live their lives based on associates, if your team calls out you rarely have staffing to call in people and are expected to cover that shift if you cannot find someone to fill it. Your 8 hour days can turn into 8-12 hrs very quick in some locations. * Managers are the only full-time staff, everyone else is casual part time (0-19 hrs) and you only get one spot per store for a part-timer (up to 30 hrs). * Majority of stores get between 80-84 hours to staff for an entire week which means you are alone 90% of the time except weekends * In department store or host environments like Macys or Cabela's there is zero way to secure the store to take breaks, product is always out and the host stores management will not help you take a 30 or even a quick bathroom break. So you risk having large thefts with product that is avg $250-600. * Company resets expectations half way into the year after changing them in Q1. We have over 20 sheets of paper to fill out each week and nobody from upper management reads it. It just goes in a box and there is no follow-up.
