TESS scheduling system is awful, management is inexperienced and communicates poorly, tardies of one minute are equal to tardies of one hour

Pros

Good Pay. Easy to grow in the company. Good Benefits ( Sick pay, Vacation pay and Paid Holidays after working for a year at the company) just to name a few. All major holidays the store is closed. Sundays you get time and a half.

Cons

Management is never satisfied. No matter how great your numbers are, if you are there everyday and on time, they still are never satisfied with what you do! They can take all of your pride away in seconds. You eventually just exist and do only what you are suppose to do and nothing extra. Management are the biggest gossips and make fun of the associates behind their backs. The 1 minute and you are late is crazy especially when you live in Atlanta. I live minutes away and sometimes it can take me almost an hour to get to work, because you never know when the police are directing traffic, if 285 has yet another accident, and don't let me start on 400 it is literally a parking lot! They just do not care and will not adjust to their new environment it's their way or no way! When you want to move your company into new territory you need to adjust to the area that you are trying to grow in. They also may have you work 6 days with only 1 day off which you are not told about during your interview. One day it will just pop up on your schedule with no warning! You may work until 10pm and then scheduled to be at work at 7am and expected to be alert! The dress code is a joke hosiery in Atlanta really????? it wouldn't be so bad but in the warm months the store is like a steam room! The management plays favoritism . If they don't like you they will find a reason to let you go or not promote you. They play with people's lives like it's a game.

Pros

Always someone new to Brainwash

Cons

-The worst retail company to ever work for, I have worked in the retail industry my whole life and was heavily recruited on campus, to join their team! Was asked to be apart of the EDProgram. -After seeing, listening and hearing all the gossip. I had to go, management will talk about their own employee likes dogs. So unhappy with their lives and their career choice that they make everyone in their store miserable. -Sad thing is they want the employees to the treat their customers like royalty but the management and upper management treats them like S&%#, how does that work?! -Dress code? Only company in the world with such a strict dress code and it is retail? You try to sale trendy fashion but wont even allow your employees to wear half the clothes you sale? How does that work? -Faster than you can say "Jack Rabbit" someone is getting fired, quitting or demoted! How does that work? worked with the company for 6months and saw almost 40 people leave in that time period! -Love the Retail industry, but an awful place to work, horrible! STAY AWAY!
