AUGUSTA SPORTSWEAR

It's well known customer service call center jobs are stressful but this place is extremely overly critical of every minor detail and has no problem leaving their workers to deal with the fall out when there is a major company issue, or covering their butts instead of considering their employees. Everything is about keeping up appearances. You will often feel you are being held accountable for things you should not be.

"Having a positive attitude" is overly-dictated to the point if anyone can perceive anything you say (both actual text or speaking voice) as having a negative tone, you can get written up. They will police your language and your tone without realizing it is dehumanizing and not a necessary standard, I am not exaggerating. Other companies and places I have worked are not like this. 

The health insurance is abysmal. 
The raise process is genuinely insulting. I was insulted. 
Seasonal mandatory overtime is way too much (up to 58 hours for months at a time)
The work is overly complicated and the pay doesn't match the skills required to complete it. They do not base your pay on merit either. 

Processes, work responsibilities, and work load change at the drop of a hat without any critically thought-out execution (just make the higher ups happy!)  and they seemingly do not care if it's too much to handle or if it causes additional issues. 

I personally am considered one of the better job performers in my department and there is no recognition for that. You are on the same level as the worst employee even though you are expected to do more. 

I am a very civil person and have always been considered well-behaved. This is the only job I've had that's hurt my mental health this much and the only position where I received any official demerits, half of which were for something that isn't related to my actual work. 

Do not express any negative emotions to any of your superiors. 

 I like order entry and I also really like my coworkers. The office does try to create a fun environment, especially around the holidays. It is not a heartless place to work but I stand by everything said here..

I did enjoy sometimes while working for this company, however I am disappointed at few things after my almost 2 years of working there.

1. management obviously needs to have some retraining on employee respect and managing employees.

2. there is no training or programs to advance your abilities or skillsets

3. management does not follow any standards of when employee does wrong or not performing well, taking the necessary steps to discuss or notify employees  of any issues to give employee chances to rectify their behavior, performance or anything else that is or was of a concern

4. If your salary , dont expect just 40 hour work weeks, The work/life balance is their favor

It is an ok company, if you need a job until you find a better job.
They make all their apparel in low labor cost "Mexico" warehouse it in Augusta and ship out to customers. This is just another one of those companies spoke about in politics how they use Mexico for low labor jobs and not source to Americans, They moving a lot of positions out of country for lower costs so owners can have bigger profits. This had always stuck in back of my head as working for company that does this, Spoke to few employees that were always in fear their position would soon be offered outside the United States at lower rate and loose their job.

Augusta Sportswear is a growing, medium-sized company in the team sportswear business.  The workforce consists of people from its early days of making canvas tote bags to those developing modern team wear for baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and spirit.  It is a challenge to maintain and share quality or test results across divisions and throughout different levels, without a common and public system for regular reporting.  The growth in products and demand for new raw materials have exceeded the development of a reporting and archive system.  Co-workers are friendly, respectful and work as a team.

They expected you to complete involved tasks that took a lot of concentration while also taking non stop calls. If you did not finish them fast enough you got a passive aggressive email from your manager to basically make you go faster, even when the queue was filling too fast for you to maintain. Made me so stressed I went into labor early from high blood pressure complications. Mandatory overtime during the week, and they would notify you as late as Thursday or Friday if it was also mandatory for you to work hours on saturday. They placed power hungry leads in each cubicle to babysit you, and spent a lot of time and money on silly prizes and games, trying to mask their low hourly rate.

Work started at 7 am and ended at  5 pm, I drove an hour to and from work 5 days a week. I operated a sewing machine, creating new designs to use in company promotions. 
The management was ok, however, I felt it could use improvement.
I enjoyed working with each of my co-workers, they each brought a lot to the work table.
The hardest part of my job was, dealing with the lack of management.
The most enjoyable part of my job would have to be creating new designs and expressing my sewing talents. They also had a fabulous breakroom with amazing ice!

Picking and pulling orders for same day, next day and 2nd day shipping. I learned how to identify and recognize the various color codes fabric comes in. Their advanced numbering system to locate a product, how to cycle count inventory, inspect quality of goods and shipping box types.
The hardest thing about the job was management reneging on raise incentives and threats of firing people for errors.
The only enjoyable part of working there were many of the fellow workers in the shipping department who wasn't management. Those who advanced to management became cut throats.

It was okay, I liked my boss. Sometimes people are snippy but you’ll have that anywhere. The worst part about this job though is the fact that you’ll work 10 hour days… never knowing when you can leave until sandy says you can. Second shift comes in at 12pm and stands around and talk whole first shift scrambles to make the quota for the day so we might be able to leave an hour past when we are supposed to. Second shift works till 6 and sometimes if first shift gets enough done. They threaten with weekend work and that’s the only time when second shift lifts a finger and I use that lightly.  Also everyone pretty much makes the same.  It’s not enough 

I started last August, was told my shift would be 6 AM to 2 PM, the day I started a week later was told we were working 10 hours, 2 days after I started we went to 12 hour shifts and stayed on 12 hours from August to December. It was ridiculous and they only pay 14.00 an hour and most places are paying 17-18.00 an hour. They need to bring their pay and benefits up to current times. Upper Management is also very poor, alot of complaints from employees and Supervisor there.

The day began with receiving fabric from textile manufactures(multiple sources). Logging fabrics according to dye lots. Inspected for color, size, and weight. I learned time management skills, attention to detail, and how to prioritize different task according to production needs. Management and co-workers were easy to work with. The hardest part of the job was consant standing and repetative motion every day. What I enjoyed most was the satisfaction of knowing that material I inspected were going to be used through out the world.

I was working third party for them, and I was told I had a grace period but really I didn’t. They ended my assignment because I was at a doctors appointment. They also do not pay well at all and the job is wear and tear on your body for sure. They implement random rules and regulations and barely tell you about it and then wonder why the turnover is so high. And you only get two 10 min breaks and a 30 min break. Morning meetings SHOULD NOT be mandatory because they talk about absolutely nothing.
