This is by far the worse company I've ever worked for. We get paid crap. They hire people, knowing they don't have the hours. Basically, the district manager tells the managers to hire people to cover shifts and they don't even bother to tell the new hire that they'd only get one day a week or if you're lucky, 15 hours a week. And I'm talking about key holders, not associates. The managers are too young, lazy and inexperienced. Managers come in any time they want without notifying anyone.
One time, regional management was scheduled to come in and look at the store and the manager knew about it. But, didn't bother coming in to help clean up and make sure everything was by planogram. I got blamed for everything and most of all, embarrassed because I was the one that opened that day. I don't know how they expected me to do anything, considering I was by myself and was extremely busy. The store was already in shambles and wasn't recovered at all from the night before.
Anything you share with the manager or district manager will be told to everyone in your district. They are constantly changing the the store around, which requires a lot of time and hours, in which we don't have or get. We get tons of shipment that is expected to be unpacked in the backroom, when you're the only person there. We have to constantly greet customers (which i don't mind), do piercings and watch out for people stealing at the same time when there is only one person working in the store. Employees have left a certain store, in which i will not name, because of infestation of scabies that was brought in by a manager. Their cheap jewelry comes double wrapped, which is a waste of plastic. And most of the time the jewelry is shipped broken. The only thing that's great is the discount. I wouldn't recommend working here. They don't pay you enough for all the work that you do. It's very stressful.
