retail assistant manager

DECIEM

Great products. Horrible Corporate Structure. Especially the manager over all the retail stores. Corporate is mainly in Canada and they honestly don't care about the employees in the US. Employees are paid low wages with expectations of devoting all your free time to the company. But they don't want you to overtime. Everything is relayed last minute. No one knows whats going on half of the time. They lie to the employees about advancement opportunities but never follow through with it. Not a great company for a long career. If this is your first job, you may like it. But thread carefully. You can get fired for absolutely nothing.

The employee discount is amazing and the products are so good. However, the job is extremely stressful. While I was there, the store was continuously understaffed. Also us associates had to do everything from cleaning to consultations. One time a customer asked me why was I the only person on the floor doing everything-- the answer was literally there was no one else. Another issue was scheduling. Two to three people go on vacation at the same time leaving the remaining associates work double, but not enough to do overtime though.

Great products unfortunately the company itself is horrible. There is zero structure. The pay is abysmal. Corperate meddles with everything and will not let anyone in stores including managers advance or be managers. They will fire people for no valid reason. No paperwork no process on handling things. They will literally fly out of nowhere from Canada to your store and fire people no warning no real reason just because they felt like it. The heads corperate also lies to you and about you . A lot..

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Always work, always pay attention

Employees get tons of benefits working here, I worked here years ago but remember it positively. Some of my details may be wrong but pay is raised yearly, there's sick days off as well as mental health days off given, laid back culture while employees are in the store, of course we have to work but overall not bad. I felt like the company was trying very hard to fit into the mold of what companies are expected to be now, more liberal, understanding, and prioritizing worker happiness. I worked here as an older teen and young adult, I was happy

Will fire you on the spot without any warnings the time I was there no outside food could be heated up because they didn’t want the smell of food disrupting the smell of the store too many people and no direction like upper management  didn’t know their roles and one person would want something done a specific way but then someone else from upper management would say it’s wrong no one would take accountability for their lack of communication 

It was fun the first few months, management made it clear they would support and help grow team. HQ was in Canada, no strong presence and with every visit it was to fire someone or to hear them complain about other employees. Direct managers were chosen on favoritism, if they didn’t like you you were going to feel it. If you even showed that you had a life such as going to school and needed to cut down on hours, they took it offensively and dubbed it as a lack of passion.

Fast and hectic 
Grade “C” manufacturing 
Professional management 
Workplace every quarter new colleagues
Hardest part no job security they only keep their similar background controls outside of life 
Most enjoyable schedule till it stays confidential the moment rest former colleague knows discloses and starts trading to send home 

I was nice to work there in the beginning, but the company is mismanaged and not organized. Not very flexible with schedule as it is extremely understaffed. 

I don't really recommend working there because they are extremely disorganized.
Also the healthcare benefits that they offer are extremely expensive considering how much you earn.

They pay is possibly the only redeeming quality. Management is only intrested in favorites, skills or knowledge aren’t requirements. There is no education program to help understand the complicated products. HR is a mess and corporate is not to be trusted.
