Burlington Stores

Not worth it. They weren't paying me right for the work i did, I couldn't take it anymore for what the pay was. I liked this job, it wasn't bad up until I felt like I was being used and then it started feeling more like I was being forced to work there and i'd drag myself to work.I worked there for about 8 months? My position was cashier yet I felt like I was doing a supervisors job and not getting compensated for it. It was weekly pay, every friday at 12am on the dot, got paid 11 dollars an hour and was a part-time employee being treated like a full-time (40+ hours a week). Sometimes I would work less like 35 but a lot of the times they would ask me to stay extra very often. Dress code is all black, they just now started allowing blue jeans & khakis. You get a card that you use to clock in and out in the break room and you also scan the barcode to sign into the register. It's also the same card you use to get your employee discount at checkout. Break room has lockers and refridgerators you can keep your stuff in and that breakroom comes along tables, 2 vending machines and cockroaches and bugs :). Paid breaks are 15 mins (once every shift), non-paid lunch breaks are 30 mins (you only get a 30 min break if you work a 6+ hrs shift) A big issue I had was that management treated me like I was a supervisor, which would have been a good thing if i was getting a supervisor position paycheck but I wasn't. Not only would I have a customer at my resgister but I had to help everybody at their registers too because most people were new or didn't speak english and only got 15 mins of training and I had to translate everything in spanish. They need to STOP pulling workers off the floor or in receiving to get on a register, LET THEM DO THEIR JOB THEY DID NOT APPLY TO BE CASHIERS LET THEM DO THEIR WORK FOR THEIR JOB TITLE AND JOB PAY. Then the managers complain the floor & receiving people didn't get their work done but you had them on the register all day long so stop complaining and deal with it or let them do their job. And another thing is don't get me wrong, I don't mind helping the freshly hired pelple who are new to the register because when I was new and I needed help i'd ask for it too. I'm also bilingual so if something needed translating for a customer I was there in a heartbeat. But it got to a point where my managers weren't helping at all with basic things and I felt like I was running around all day long as a supervisor which they are not paying me to be and I couldn't take it anymore. On days that it gets packed it's honestly exhausting sometimes because i'd be working non-stop and they'd even forget to give everybody their breaks. When COVID hit is when I got extremely tired of that and I just left, it hurt me to leave without saying a word to anyone but I know that they would have tried to convince me to stay, which I was not willing to do if I was gonna be stuck getting paid $11/hr and being sent around like a supervisor. They called me a couple of times a day for a week until they gave up on trying to get me to answer, I got an email a MONTH later saying I was let go and if I wanted to contact management to come back I had 7 days to do so. When there was a supervisor around all they would do is put stuff away like can you get on a register if you see I have a line of like 15 people all by myself? Sometimes i'd call for a manager on the store speaker and no one would answer and i'm standing there stuck with a customer for 15 mins with a line of 10 people ALL ALONE and im not able to do anything because I need a managers approval with their card. Sometimes i'd ask a manager to bring me more bags because i'm running out and I can't go get it myself, they say okay and i'd never get those bags. If the line was long or I was the only cashier i'd tell a supervisor i'm going to the bathroom real quick and they'd say "okay but hurry" LIKE EXCUSE ME? NO. If I gotta go i'm gonna goand i'm not rushing myself so deal with it. During covid and sometimes before that, the line was disgustingly long and nobody cares, the managers come to the registers and tell us to hurry and shorten the line then they'd just go stand at the door and smile while welcoming MORE people in, only a couple of them would be helpful and be behind the counter and they were my favorites because if I ever needed something they'd come to help in a heartbeat. Also ima tell y'all rn, most people say no to signing up for a credit card so don't even bother asking every customer and the surveys at the bottom of the reciept? Yeah people barley do that and it's not like you get a raise for a good review so for what? Only great thing this job gave me was work experience and government approval for unemployment money during covid. Thanks for reading my life story, if you still apply then goodluck to you ❤.

My time at Burlington has been miserable. Almost all of the managers are lazy and entitled. They hardly help on the floor unless corporate is there. They seem to hide in their offices because they don’t want to deal with the customers or any of the employees. There is no team work within the store. The employees are treated less than human. They are there just to simply pick the mess off the floor and ring, nothing else. There isn’t any advancing or learning as an employee. No one at the auburn hills location cares about your growth. Employees disappear for hour long lunches and extra long breaks, no manager does anything about it. And honestly, I do not blame them because they aren’t appreciated or even respected. Half of the staff has over the points for attendance, but they don’t get fired because one manager deletes their points, or the managers don’t want to deal with the confrontation so they let them stay. There is a select group of employees that managers show a prefrence for. They are the ones that get their points deleted all of the time and basically
Make up their own schedules. If you are not a part of that group you may get targeted, if you won’t put up a confrontation. The new ops manager is HORRIBLE. He runs around screaming at people and trying to Manipulate them. He acts like a child who doesn’t know how to do any part of his job. How can you have an ops manager who has been there for months, but doesn’t know any aspect of his job? Need him to ring? Doesn’t know how. Need him to help in receiving? Doesn’t know how. He knows nothing and doesn’t even take the initiative to learn, and the store manager isn’t pushing him to learn his job either. The store manager acts like he cares about his employees, but he could really care less. You can go and make suggestions on how to make things better or with specific concerns and he tells you what you want to hear, and then forgets minutes later. He doesn’t confront many of his employees about bad behaviors or attendance because he is scared of confrontation. I have went to him about not feeling safe working with another employee who aggressively got in my face on multiple occasions and was starring at me like she wanted to jump me. I said that I felt that my safety was in danger and she was going to attack me, he asked me if it could wait because preparing for  a visit from corporate was more important. This employee stopped showing up eventually, but only because she went home and killed someone and was in jail. I felt betrayed and like my safety did not matter. When I supervised over receiving a short time ago I tried to follow corporate rules and get everyone on track, but I never got backed by the store manager. It was excuse after excuse on why we couldn’t do this or that. I got ran over because I did not get the support i needed.  The store itself is always a mess and there are never enough employees to make a difference. The bathrooms and the whole store just got remodeled, but the bathrooms still have a plumbing problem and urine and feces constantly overflows and gets on the floor. You can smell it through out the whole entire store. Not to mention a couple of the stalls don’t even have locks installed on them. Clothes are always all over the floor, and the wait for customers is well over 30 minutes most of the time. There is a reason why the turn over rate it so high. The job sucks, the pay sucks and management sucks the most. The managers need to go, and new ones need be hired to get this location turned around. I have never seen something so bad in all of my life. Burlington should be ashamed of the way this store is being managed. Even corporate has some serious issues. The regional ops doesn’t know which way is up, and changes his mind constantly. He is unrealistic on how things should be ran and doesn’t not do a good job.  I feel like I wasted a whole year of my life at this company. If my situation would have allowed I would have gotten out sooner. I am ashamed to say that Burlington is a place that I worked at. I was definitely embarrassed to say I worked there while I was still employed.

To preface this, I originally applied for part time seasonal and was kept on. Apologies for the long review, I tend to ramble.

To summarize (tldr...), it's a place with high expectations and heavy, fast paced workloads. It's not hard to grasp and there's a good team to help along the way. However, the scheduling is downright awful and the management has unreasonable expectations because of it. 

The job is fast paced, you're prone to mistakes at the start and from time to time, but it's not hard to pick up, especially moreso when someone's teaching you right. My coworkers were nice, it was sort of like a community, nobody minded helping out and teaching how to do things, and we all felt good when the work was done. You learn a lot and work in a team, if you've got good attention to detail and can stay focused you'll do fine. 

 The biggest takeaways here were the management and the hours. From the start, both were terrible. Scheduling was the worst, you never know when you're going to work, it was often updated in the app the night before, half of the people couldn't access said app so there was a 50/50 chance of them coming in, shifts are often scheduled to end in 4 or so hours, which leads to being scheduled more during the week to make up for it, and for the amount of workload and the 4 or so hours being scheduled for it hardly anyone ever got off on time. They also never scheduled enough people. Most people seemed to get low scheduling (1-3 days a week) depending on their reliability/availability. I was able to work whenever and cluld stay late, meaning I was basically scheduled every day, but everyone else came in when they could and without much trouble from management. On days where we had a big truck and they overscheduled (11+ people) we would "miraculously" finish on time (not even early, just on time.) Because people would plan their day around only working 6-10 or so, they would need to leave on their scheduled time even when work wasn't done, leaving 3-4 people to have to finish the rest of the workload. I stayed almost every time as I didn't mind, but it's seriously not a workload meant for that little people and we'd rarely ever finish it all. 

Management, from the start, was also pretty bad. The supervisors are typically in and out so there isn't much to say about them (they were alright...) but the managers were the worst. I had 2 as the first one quit and they hired a new one. My first manager was...intense. We weren't yelled at per se, but they had a strong voice and tone so it felt like it. They always wanted us to work faster (even when we were working fast), finish quicker, get more done. The good thing about them though, is that they helped somewhat. They were the one that trained me, and even though they came to rely on me heavily a month in onwards,they constantly told me I was bad at the job and should quit when I first started out because I didnt know what I was doing yet. My second manager seemed to be someone they hired just for that position, they had no idea how the job worked. Their expectations were even higher than the first one, but they had no idea how to run things and could never really help out since they didn't know the job. I was often the one sent in their place to train new people, and even had to tell them how to do things a few times... Basically, both had very high expectations that seemed near impossible to finish in the time given, and were constantly disappointed in us because of it.

I love my job at Burlington, I have fun everyday being a cashier and interacting with the rest of the employees, everyone I have worked with is super nice and supportive. I felt accepted and felt like my work mattered at this job. I would also like to point out that they are very flexible with scheduling, but this was the only job that has truly understood and being okay with my schedule to allow me to work.

Although I must warn you, the first week and a half of working there I, and other employees I have talked to, would get calls from the store asking me to go to work on days that they knew weren’t on my availability. After a week and a half they stopped calling, they can try and take advantage of you staying more hours than you should or trying to convince you to take more hours but again, but that only happens on the first week and a half.

My store has 4 managers, all of them are incredibly sweet, but there is one manager who keeps screwing me over although she’s sweet while doing it idk if that’s supposed to make it better.

For context, I am a Senior high school student, and I take a business class where it requires you to have a job and work 10 or more hours a week, once you tell the teacher you have a job on x place at x location (in my case Burlington), the teacher will go to your job and talk to the management, you know to see you if you actually work there or not. 
Now this manager I mention that keeps screwing me over, had the opportunity of talking to my teacher, and this particular manager decided to tell my teacher that I have missed 3 days where I was scheduled in, keep in mind it was the first week of me working there and I had just gotten off of my first day working here, there was not even a way for me to miss those 3 days, and yes I check the schedule and I confirm I didn’t miss any days. I asked all the managers and they all told me that she was the one that talked to my teacher and when I confronted her about it (nicely of course because I really like this job even though this manager made my teacher mad at me and called me irresponsible), she just acted like it wasn’t a big thing and she just said sorry to me and walked away, now idk if it was a sincere “sorry” but I took it because again, I really like this job and I love everyone else in this store except for this manager. 

Now this manager has still being screwing me over, from yelling at me in front of a costumers for answering a question (twice now), to making me stay longer after my shift ended to help out, which I’m okay with since I am helping out, although not to happy staying more than 2 hours after my shift ended.

Besides this manager I love everything about this store, the pay honestly could be better for all the stuff we got to do as cashiers, its bittersweet because we all love this store which is why we do it, but for the amount of money we get is a bit is not worth it sometimes. I know I didn’t mention many sweet things about my store, I mostly focused on explaining what happened with that one manager.

But overall it is a great place to work with. If you don’t really care about the money and just want a job this place is for you. All the managers (yes even the one that screw me over) are super sweet and incredibly supportive and will always be there for you if you need help or are stuck in something. I am very happy with my job and don’t plan on leaving it for a long time. I hope this review could help you out.

I worked for this company for 16 years and I will say that I did learn a lot as this was the first warehouse job i've had. The number one problem with this company is the raises. You could work your tail off to the bone and when your yearly review would come around you would only get 50 cents raise at the max. Back in 2009 there was a major overhaul in the company and as a result of this overhaul there were a lot of supervisors and managers that were let go from the company. Before this overhaul it was in my opinion a tolerable place to work for but still not a long term solution. The only reason why I stayed through most of my tenure is because of lack of experience for one and two the economy was in a recession for a long time until just recently where it did pick up.Most of the managers that came in after this overhaul were very rude and disrespectful to you. I remember times where a manager and supervisor were talking and laughing at me behind my back. They were very unprofessional and lacked communication with their employees. They have a system in place as far as production where if you don't meet their production standards you will be fired. They would give all the easy work to their favorites while people they disliked were given the grunt work and their production went down the toilet as a result. I really felt it was every man or woman for themselves in there as they did lack teamwork. It was not always like this but most of the time it was. At the end of the day in one of their buildings it was like driving to get out of a concert or sporting event. The people I worked with In there were good people but there were also people that were not so nice. It just depends who you deal with. Very few of these people I call my friends and still associate with them. During my years with the company I can say there was more negativity than positivity but lets now get to the positives. The first thing is something they put in place after the overhaul and that is the pace point program. If you hit your numbers on production they would reward you. When it first started you earned a certain amount of pace points per week. The higher the number the higher the points you earn. You had the option of either cashing them in or saving them for something else. Some of the prizes that were available were visa giftcards ticketmaster giftcards playstation consoles flat screen tvs just to name a few. A few years ago they changed how you would get these points. instead of saving them and cashing in on one of these things you would just get the money added in your check on a weekly basis. Another positive was they had a cafeteria where you could order food during your lunch break or before the start of your shift. The food was ok at best. The benefits package was pretty decent but not great. One thing they are good at as well is paid time off. You can earn as much as a total of 10 days paid vacation 12 personal days and 5 sick days, the only downside to that is you don't get them all at once with the exception of the sick days probaly because they are mandated by the state to do so but your personal and vacation time is earned on a monthly basis.  So in ending my best advice to anyone going in there for the first time would be to watch your P'S and Q's. If you can go somewhere else I highly recommend it but if you need a job right away and are desperate for one this is the place to go or if you are a rookie who is just entering the workforce for the first time this is the place to go.

When I was working at the Independence store. It seemed like they didn't want you there for longer than you were needed. Many times I was kind of pushed out the door before I supposed to be getting off. There was times where I had a very small paycheck and really didn't think it was worth the gas to even drive to and from that department store. 

Other times they would revise everyone's' days and hours they are to work without telling the employees' the night before. Once I walked into work clocked in and looked at my hours and found out I wasn't supposed to even be there. They didn't even call the employees to tell them not to come in at all. We have to give a phone number so we can be reached, that would of been a great time to say SOMETHING so a trip out would not be wasted.

Also, corporate messed up my paper work and I could not work for nearly a week after I was hired on. Instead of just calling ahead or even me that I wasn't needed till it was officially done I was told everyday to come in to see if they fixed it. I actually wasted gas driving back and forth just to see if I was ok to work that day. Others that went through the same process was already trained and put in their departments.

I, on the other hand, had to train about a week after I was told I was officially hired on. While working they seemed to think, I was expected to already know what I was doing the Baby department (I personally don't have kids so I really didn't know what expecting mothers would want or really even need). I'm a fast learner but even the fastest learner has to have some time to even understand what their job wants from them. I had to eventually had to just learn on my own. Thankfully, I had a couple of co workers help when they could.

Management was on some days great and some days not so great depending on who was there. So I can't really go into much detail about it. It was purely if it was a good night for the Managers or not. Basically, RNG (Random) on how they felt that night.

Hardest part of the job was how much they actually work you for how much they pay. This might sound like I'm just being ungrateful. I'm not but how much they worked some of the workers, I included, was I don't know, seemed like working there wasn't really worth it. I'm really glad they gave me the opportunity to work there but really, if they didn't all me literally the same night I put in the application, I would of taken another job that paid more and given more hours then this company would offer the perm employees that work there.

The only enjoyable part of working at this job was talking to the customers and in my case helping mothers pick out the best car seat, crib, play yards, strollers and the baby clothes. I often had customers ask if the clothes they picked would look great. Of course, it's always their decision on what they buy but I thought it was great to interact with the customers.

TL;DR;
Sometimes Management acted like didn't really want you there; Check your hours constantly. They will change sometimes.

Doesn't commutate well with corporate

Might not train new employees well; Learn on your own very fast if this is the case.

Management feelings are pretty RNG (Random). So if you have a bad day before you get there.. good luck for the rest of the night.

Pay isn't worth working here. Unless you were like me and really needed the money at the time. Discount there isn't bad either.

Interaction with the customers can be a plus if you're a people person.

I started about 4 months ago in shipping and receiving, I open, ticket, hang, and sensor clothes for 4 hours with 1 15 minute break. The supervisor has no people skills what so ever. She barks over and over c'mon c'mon there's more to do and every single day we walk back there she says "we have 9 bins to get through". We had 5 day before we couldn't get through what makes her think with lazy, talkative 18-20 year olds that can't seem to work and talk at the same time we are not getting through 9. Oh ya as she literally stands there doing nothing, not 1 thing. She won't help and not 1 kid out there respects her so they work even slower because she barks. She's never happy, never jokes or laughs to try and lighten the mood. They just don't understand that if moral is sour, and it is believe me, that by taking music away, yelling at us for talking and laughing, and new rule..depending on day, we can't move more than 4 feet from where we are working and they need to know if we run to bathroom. I feel like I should raise my hand to ask for bathroom pass. The store manager is around off and on kinda, but useless like the supervisor. They also have a new way of doing things faster and it might actually help, but then again it actually needs to be done more than 1 day. The only days they do it is when district managers are coming and act like we should know how to do it right. They wonder why district manager gets mad cuz we get nothing done, it's because of the way things are done, what they let people get away with,  and the system they are "suppose" to use. Biggest thing that would make everything get done is to have trash barrels for us or ticket guns that work so we don't waste time running all over place looking under tables, buried under clothes, right size clothes hangers, racks to put the items on, people who actually put clothes on floor. We still have bathing suits to go out. I would not help my worst enemy get a job there. The supervisor needs training on getting morals, how to get respect, biggest thing learn to respect your employees, smile, laugh, and help. She needs people skills, not how to make people hate their job so the call in all the time. Pay sucks, hours suck, it's way to hot back there and it puts me in a bad mood just thinking bout the days I had to work...I know I sound like I'm out to get them, I'm not I am just spent on hearing the same things everyday, not 1 positive thing to make anyone want to help or push themselves. Always complaining about something, if it's not how bad we are doing its about how behind and bad a differentry station is, or how  life's so bad, feeling lousy, and then wonders why we leave exactly on time without cleaning or even finishing the stack we are working on. We have no reason to push ourselves because no matter how hard we do or how much we get done she never appreciates it at all, neither bosses do. A simple good job, thank you, have a good afternoon, good morning a smile or laugh would go so far. I think talking about negatively about your worker with her coworkers joining in is something anybody that's in a supervisors position should know that is the first rule, hence she needs to go through supervisor training course, having common sense might help as well.

Let me start by saying I'm not done bitter ex employee who got fired or something I just  recently quit tho after an argument with management. I am the only man on an all female receiving team. We have been short staffed the entire year I worked here and Everytime someone gets hired they quit because they treat their employees like complete garbage. The store manager rarely gets off his but and when he does it's to nit pick at little things like items being misplaced a few shelves off. If ylou need anything he refers you too the manager underneath him who honestly is a really nice lady she just has a mouth on her but I genuinely do think she is a good manager but expects alot minimum wage.  The job consists of unloading the truck into pallets then opening the boxes and tagging and putting in shelf easy enough. Problem is since everyone is new no one knows what they are doing and we only have four hours to do it so if u don't get it done ur being harassedsed by management and being told that u have to stay untill done or written up. Keep in mind management doesn't do anything.  So if we don't finish then it just piles up and the next day or must be done plus that days requirements. Also keep in mind the day employees come in an hour before we leave. Their job is to stand around and look pretty and do not help any of the receiving associates they just complain and remove stuff from shelf and bring it to back management often socialize s with them as most of them are friends and can be frequently spotted doing nothing but talking and gossiping daily. In other wards there is no teamwork at this store at all. The supervisors do the bare minimum as well. I dk how to put it but this is the worst job I've ever had by a mile and I feel silly for complaining about any other job in my life. I took a new job who called my store for a reference and the store manager told them I was a horrible employee and it amazes me that knowing it's minimum wage he would stop me from reaching a better opportunity and lie. All in all this company is bad from top to bottom. They are number 451 in revenue generating companies in world and pay 80 percent of the work force minimum wage. I've never worked somewhere that management degrades u for simply asking how something is done why something is done and why no one else will help me.  If u took the time to read this don't bother working here I'm saving u alot of stress and anger when you are treated like a peice of trash worked to death and for no money at all. Ur time is worth more then this trash company trust me. Especially if ur a man stay far away and as a woman be prepared to be gossiped about and constant drama while no one works because accountability does not exist here. 
Also the women don't take trash out I took a week off and came back to 56 bags of trash I had to throw away. I have pictures I can upload. Their excuse for not doing it and this was the store manager "not my job it's your job pick up the pace the shoes need to be done before you leave" which again is on video.

The hardest part of the job is dealing with customers (like all retail jobs) and the learning curve of how to operate the cash register without proper training. They just show you some standard safety/theft videos and expect you to know how to do everything within 2 days. If you're lucky you get about an hour of training with a random employee who happens to be there that day and isn't a supervisor or manager. 
The management becomes irate with you for not being able to check out more than ten individuals who walked in line at once if the line gets lengthy and you ask for assistance by walkie-talkie. The manager and supervisor don't appreciate you being there and become upset when you ask for assistance because they only usually schedule two workers at a time and occasionally schedule you alone for 2 hours. These statements are especially true on busy days when they believe that cashiering is the easiest job at the store, so they ignored/delay helping you with customers. 

The cash registers need to be updated. they keep on freezing when doing returns (via phone numbers) and the touch screens don't work half of the time, so customers can't enter their email in a timely manner to sign up. Also entering yes for the customer to enter their phone number for the extra 15 return days keeps glitching and I have to spam in the yes button multiple times for it to work. 

supervisors keep pushing you to get people to sign up for credit cards and do survey's while also wanting you to keep the line down. 

The register doesn't show the customer their total amount as I am ringing it, so I have to keep on repeating the total again, and again because most customers need a visual total to understand quicker vs trying to listen to me speak over everyone in a very loud store and announce to everyone in line how much or little you are paying.

There is a handful of manager and supervisor that dislike assisting their coworkers in ringing and who will do anything to get out of it. They also get mad if you stand at the register for a min waiting for a customer to walk to the front to get check out. Even though the people on the floor (employees who clean/maintain/put new items on shelves) are always taking their sweet time, goofing around, with air pods on. They Don't have the same time limit as cashiers do, but are treated like their task is more important when in reality, they can wait an extra 20mins to rearrange a rack of clothes vs a cashier that needs to check out 40+ people who is waiting in line. 

 Sometimes supervisor will even have you do their job or your other coworker's job too like putting away new store products next to the registers and expect you to know where everything should go even though that isn't your job, and you have to go back and forth from ringing up customers to putting products away.

Regular coworkers are friendly and nice to work with compared to higher management people.

 They don't have constant scheduling, its random and you're left to asking coworkers to trade shifts frequently, even when you put in what days you aren't available, they still assign you that day.

Typical day at work was very frustrating.  It was a study in just how much the managers could push your buttons and make you want to puke.  Most days I was on the register about 70% of the time with my so called manager griping because the work on the floor isn't getting done.  Well...I wonder why?  I'm usually the only one in the department,  with no one to help me keep the floor clean, build strollers, build travel systems, rearrange areas because product has sold down and needs to be replaced. Well, who does all this when I'm having to ring on register....no one and I get blamed for it.  It's my fault I'm having to ring....when I was told to go do it.  It's my fault things are not getting done on the floor because I'm having to spend MOST of my day being a cashier.  I like helping people...I like talking to people about the products.  I'm chewed out because I'm talking to the people about the products.  I'm told I have to give good customer service...then I'm told I spend too much time with the customers.  I'm told I have bad job performance but, I'm one of the hardest working people on the floor.  I'm told things aren't getting done in my area, but, I can't even start my day in my own area.  I can't even stay in my area because I have to go do  someone else's job, because they don't have enough cashiers so they can relieve each other to go on breaks or lunch. I can't get everything done because there's no one to help customers while I build things, clean up and open my own merchandise to put out.  we were told we wouldn't have to put out our own merchandise anymore...yet...here I am opening boxes when I should be on the floor helping customers and taking care of the department.  
In my opinion this is one of the most poorly managed businesses I've ever seen.  The so called managers are treated worse than the employees.  How do I know this...I was promoted to manager.  How's that for someone with poor job performance?  I was a very good manager....after I learned what I was doing.  They threw me in there with only a week's training...I'd never been a manager. I didn't know the first thing about it.  The people in the department resented that one of their people didn't get promoted. I got the brunt of their resentment....welcome to management 101.  Would I ever work for this place again...not on your life.  It was really sad...I'd never seen customers treat a store so disrespectfully.  Why?  The upper management didn't respect anything or anybody, the customers felt it and they acted just like the managers....very disrespectfully.  The most enjoyable part of the job was talking with the customers.  Most of them were really nice.  I hated people coming in with badly behaving kids.  I really don't like being around kids due to this job.  That, I have to say, wasn't Burlington's fault for the most part.  What was their fault was not having enough people on the floor. They didn't have enough cashiers. They didn't have enough security people...the sugarloaf store gets robbed blind...do they care, nah, they'll just write it off on their insurance.
Some of my co-workers were really great.  I've developed some life long friends.  Some of them were spiteful, immature, jealous you-know-whats....hmmmm sounds like most of the management.
