Don’t drink the koolaid - Visual Assistant Manager Altar'd State Employee Review

Pros

Employee discount was literally the only perk

Cons

This company treats people so horribly that even the best talent in the retail industry is made to feel incompetent and unsuccessful in their role. I watched EVERYONE from store leaders to brand reps come and go and I stuck it out because I cared about my team so much. Everyone ultimately left for the same reason: unrealistic expectations to the highest degree with no support to meet them. This was true from the moment I walked in the door and it made me wonder if I was even good at a job I’ve been doing for the last ten years, it severely messed with my mental health. These unrealistic expectations were also felt so deeply even by the brand reps, and all they wanted was to get to the end of a day and feel accomplished but that was nearly impossible. I don’t even have to list off all of the unrealistic standards because other reviewers have done so well at describing them. As you read this review and others like it, BELIEVE THEM! I read reviews like this one before I accepted the job and I didn’t believe them but I really wish I had. They have an overall rating of 2.7/5 FOR A REASON!

Pros

Literally nothing, can’t think of one positive thing

Cons

I’ve been with the company for years and watching its continuous downfall has become almost comical. Two years ago we took major pay cuts (like 15%) because of the economy but this year they sent us to the Virgin Islands on this over the top meeting that must have cost a fortune. I’d rather have the money in my bank versus a trip I was forced to go on with senior leadership that are absolute horrific people in general and evil businesses people. It all felt like a big propaganda event with tons of videoing and picture taking so they could come home and post all over linked in and social media about how WONDERFUL it is to work there. Don’t even get me started on the new Little House on the Prairie denim dresses we have to wear because they hire managers that aren’t even strong enough to coach to a dress code. How can you run a store if you can’t even tell someone what they’re wearing inappropriate? Instead now we look like a bunch of little followers of the cult everyone already says it is. As long as we say we “stand out for good” at every opportunity it must mean it’s true right? To know who else brainwashed people into thinking bad things are good for them? CULT LEADERS.
