Lindas Stuff, Inc.

I have worked for this company for years. I have had my ups and my downs with this company. But overall it was a pretty poor experience. You need to have a strong grasp on your mental health. I along with others have been belittled by Upper Management.  There is hardly any progression in rank with this company as well. The Upper management has no idea what they are doing and are disorganized when it comes to planning. They are also disconnected from how the business works. Communication is rarely exchanged between departments. Resulting in chaos whenever a department works in a different area. The warehouse is the backbone of the company yet is treated the worst. Lowest in staffing. The manager does what he can to help but is always being micromanaged by the upper management. The storage of items is dangerous. They are stored in bins that are usually over filled and broken with jagged edged. There is an appreciation day every third Friday. But little effort is put in place for it. Usually resulting in last minute prep and grabbing something on the way to the office. The upper management seems to be to concerned with titles and prestige more than keeping the business afloat. Vacation time used to be that you got a certain amount of time per year, now you get 2 hours of PTO a week.( I believe) and there is no sick time, so you have to use your PTO if you are sick or late or anything like that. otherwise you will be penalized by their points system.

Linda’s Stuff is actually the worst employer I have ever worked for. And I’ve been working for over 16 years!  The level of disrespect in that place is astonishing. There’s no such thing as teamwork there.  They have conglomerates and if you do not fit in you will be picked on and written up constantly over anything they can think of.  Like leaving the steamer on for too long because you’re so busy trying to make your number for the day that you accidentally forgot about it.  Might I add this, if you ever receive a write up from Linda’s Stuff they will NOT provide you a copy of your write up. Anytime I receive the write up I always got a copy. I would suggest that you don’t sign it. They don’t talk to you they talk at you, very verbally abusive environment. Oh, and  I can’t recall really taking any lunch breaks because you have to make sure you make 800+ photos a day.  And for whatever reason they believe that everyone should be working at the same pace. I’m sorry are you unaware that not everyone works the same way? It’s a very childish environment in there. Instead of coming to you your coworkers will go snitch on you about something that you did wrong or something that they feel like you’re not doing and you should be. So that you get pulled in for another right up.  If you have any respect for yourself, you would not work here. I don’t care how much money you need.

At the Linda's Stuff photography department, employees are given 2 days of training before receiving their own space. Each one is held to a quota of 4000 quality photos a week, with the employee deciding how many to do on a given day. Through trial and error, I learned how to take rapid quality photos, as well as how to style and fold various types of garment. The management staff were very kind and willing to help me overcome my weaknesses. They let me try for eight weeks to reach the quota before letting me go.My co-workers were mostly women around the age of 20-24 and were willing to talk, provide advice, and hang out during lunch. Overall, a very pleasant atmosphere.The most difficult part of the job was consistently making the photo quota. For me, I didn't make it because it took too much time to put the clothes on the mannequin. The best part of the job was the atmosphere: no dress code, headphones and phones allowed, and the freedom to chat with your neighbors.

I have been working at Linda's Stuff for 2 years and while I have learned so much and enjoyed working there, it is time for me to move on and explore other, more professional opportunities. The positives of working at this company is that you get to work with and handle very expensive shoes, handbags and clothing. It's cool to see all the high end items that come in. Another positive is that you can buy anything that you may see and like at a discounted price. The downsides are that there aren't any health benefits or PTO. There is no human resources department and since this office is about 90% female, there is alot of unnecessary "high school" drama and politics that go on. I appreciate all that I have learned and experienced while working here, but all good things must come to an end. There are so many other opportunities out there to explore and I have alot to offer.

I know that many may have had dissatisfactory experiences here, but all I have experienced is genuine support from management (ability to move higher), great work and learning experiences and more. No company is perfect and no management is perfect. Every company has their pros and cons, but the management here is very supportive and encouraging. Sure, they reprimand you when you make mistakes, but that's what they're supposed to do. I wish roles were more spread out because I feel like management takes on a lot because fast-paced environment isn't as pushed, but that could be a personal preference. All in all, objectively, I believe it's a great starting working environment. A lot of area to "move up the latter" if you will and they stress organization, value personal accountability, work ethic, hard work, self sufficiency and self motivation. They don't let your hard work get unnoticed or unseen and I really appreciate that. The CEO herself is extremely genuine and will appreciate your work if you work hard and do your best like any boss will. 

While it started out good but got worse over time. Turn over rate is huge. There is sometimes very rarely advancement but you really get promoted its you get more responsibilities with no pay increase or if you do get the pay increase its only for 2-5 days while your doing that job, but lose that pay when you return to you're normal one. Shipping is disorganized and nothing is checked  back there so items go missing and with only turn up later because they pull bins that are over a year old to be relisted and photographed. 

The “quota” of the day was at least 800 photos. Now that doesn’t seem like a lot, but when you factor in having to grab, scan and steam each bag of clothes you pull, as well as styling each piece on the mannequin...that’s a lot of work. Also you have to make the quota; you get some slack when your new, but once you have been there for a while, they start to give you warnings. So, you will never make past $12 per hour if you can’t get past 800 photos per day. You can eventually get terminated if you can never make the numbers, either.

I have had similar jobs after Linda’s stuff, making up to $10 per hour more and only having to take no more than 100 photos per day. 

There’s more bad things I could say, but I hope this bit can keep folks away, if you’re on the fence.

That job is just not worth it.

I worked in shipping & packed the items to be sent out. The owners treated the employees terribly. The husband oversaw shipping and was constantly coming into the warehouse to yell & curse at us over small things. We were encouraged to not take our break and to stay late, especially during the busy season.  There basically isn’t an HR dept. The only thing I enjoyed was the people I worked with and the fact that there wasn’t a dress code.  There was a revolving door of employees because they could never keep anyone for too long and people would just walk out or stop showing up because they were so fed up with the verbal abuse.  The stress you’re put u set isn’t worth what you get paid.  I would never recommend this place to work.

Linda’s stuff is filled with creative people whose talents are being put to waste by being treated like robots. The quotas are so high people are encouraged to skip breaks or they’ll fear for their job security. The company seems to be going under and there is a significant decrease in quality and rush from management to continue producing listings. Quantity over quality for sure. My two friends who had both worked there for 1.5 years were laid off because “the photo department was too big” and then they hired two more people for their positions. People quit so they wouldn’t be fired.  Not to mention they don’t pay well, so please don’t bother working here.

Management was awful besides the assistant manager of shipping. Oh wow pizza on fridays! Very strenuous from repeating the same motion every minute or so. Lifting heavy bins for 7 to 8 hours straight. Also did other people’s jobs because they didn’t want to hire enough people. Had terrible communication skills. Sent out a lot of damaged items. Went above and beyond for this place and all I got was free lunch. Owners were nice sometimes but mostly just miserable and demanding.
