Smoke and mirrors. I was brought into this company at the beginning of 4th quarter. I was told all these beautiful lies about how amazing this company is and how supportive everyone is. I received horrible training, but took it in stride. I arrived to my store and then found out that it was in shambles when it came to culture and results. I did my best to stay afloat throughout 4th quarter, but it was brutal and I was not supported my DL at all. I was constantly being asked to go assist two other stores. There were many weeks I didn’t get one day off and most days were over 12 hours. I thought it would get better after 4th quarter, but it’s gotten worse. The higher ups that I encountered came off rude and judgmental and didn’t approach the encounter in a way that would support me or inspire me. I feel like this company breeds mean girls. I have already given my notice because I mentally and physically cannot take this environment and lack of support. I have never felt so devalued and dehumanized as I have while working here and I am heartbroken over it because I was so excited about this job and company. I wanted this to be my forever career because it seemed like it wanted to do good within retail. I wanted to help make a difference and create a better world, but this company employs so many cruel, nasty demons that take the form of smiling blonde women in felt hats.
