PepWear LLC

Initially, I found PepWear to be great. I got hired just before the busy season (fall) and it was stressful, but I made it. Slowly but surely, I started hearing things here and there about the shady things that happen there. I chose to ignore these things and continue because I didn’t want to just up and quit. I was told that in January, raises could potentially happen. I hadn’t been there a year yet so I wasn’t expecting anything. That was cool. I  unfortunately became super comfortable with the people that I worked with and shared with them that I felt really stagnant in my position as an Event Admin. I was told by upper management that the ultimate goal was for me to become an event coordinator so I stuck it out. Learned new things every single day. Excelled at those things. I was doing event coordinator work and event admin work and remained at the same pay. I wasn’t super happy about that but I continued to do what I was supposed to do. Definitely messed up here and there but overall, never got talked to about performance or wrote up. Right around my 6 months, I decided that I wanted to change careers. Go back to school. I, like a dummy, chose to share that because I figured it’s better to be honest. I was honest about looking for other jobs. Honest about still feeling stagnant in my position. Cool. I was honest about all of that. I was also super honest in saying that I wouldn’t just leave high and dry. I’d leave the correct way and do a 2 weeks notice once I find something. My supervisor actually made me promise to do that which wasn’t a problem. I promised. The day after my 6 months, I was pulled into the office and told by upper management that lately I’ve been honest about not being happy in my position and they really want someone who wants to be there, which I actually understood. He also mentioned something about me having a bad attitude. He then went on to tell me that it is best to cut ties right now and wished me luck in finding what I was looking for. I was definitely thrown for a loop. I cried. My supervisor cried and told me “I can’t even tell you how hard that was for me.” You? How hard it was for you? Imagine how I felt. So just like that. Fired. No warning. No notice. Nothing. Never got a write up for performance or attitude. All the reasons that he listed for letting me go, he never mentioned before. It was the first time I was hearing those things. I also didn’t understand the fact that I was being penalized for being honest about being unhappy there. Several people talked about being unhappy and wanting to leave but I actually made the mistake of voicing those things to others and because morale is so incredibly low there, that is ultimately what did it. The really upsetting thing about all of it was there was nothing I could do about it. Texas is an at will state. You can be fired. Whenever. At any given moment and the employer doesn’t even have to provide an explanation. Is it right? No. Is it just life? Yes. Overall, it was a learning experience. Seriously, LESSON LEARNED. I was looking for job on indeed and saw the job that they were training me for (event coordinator) was posted the day after I was fired. Sucks, but that’s business. If you’re hired on at Pepwear, be advised of these things. I have no harsh feelings towards any of the employees or upper management. Business is business. I just figured this review could be helpful for anyone wanting to apply there in the near future. 

Pepwear runs on favoritism and “friendship”.  Management is a joke, administration is unfit for their high positions. they have no clue what they’re doing (this phrase was said to me by multiple people in management positions on numerous occasions) 
if you don’t get in with the cool kids, they will come for your throat any chance they get. hardest part of the job is showing up and the easiest is leaving. 

you have no support beyond your coworkers on the same level (if you’re lucky) 
and also, if you are not bilingual, expect to be looked down on. 

the better you are at your given job, the more responsibility you receive with no compensation. 

really, if you’re smart, you’ll take this review to heart and run. RUN. 

Good and bad times for a few years, just upset about changes with merged companies affecting loss of good people and tactics for efficiency. Not enough time to get the right quality of the work order was and is a big factor in my opinion. The 2 owners should have thought TOGETHER about the quality of EACH product they require for more customers but they cared about the money.
Yes, money is important but the work, art,skill and the people behind that is more important.
Hopefully they’re making RIGHT DECISIONS based on LISTENING to their skilled employees.

Don’t work for them. They don’t hire or promote based on skill level! They hire and give promotions to their friends, relatives, and significant others. The production manager fired good workers to hire her GIRLFRIEND. Can we say conflict of interest? Pathetic. Management is a mess! No one is on the same page, you get different introductions/information from each of them. The production manger is very condescending and rude. She thinks she’s better than everyone because her friend got her the job. She didn’t earn it.

although it may be seasonal it is a very good extra source of income. They offer flexible work schedules. It is also independent work you hire and pay your own workers, do inventory checks before and after,sell, set up and take down and anything else required. It is fun to do and beneficial to the schools contracted with them The best part is it is appreciated by the schools staff, parents and students

During the Day at Pepwear i am helping out production print t-shirt and make sure all orders are pulled for today and the next day and also make sure that screens are ready for the next day.I have learned how to put emulsion on screens, what kind of chemicals are used to put screens when cleaning it, how to put and take off shirts in the machine while printing design. Co Workers are really friendly and nice. The Hardest Part is when you have to finish 35 plus jobs in one day and also when the art work is messed up.

It's basically impossible to advance your career, especially if you start in production. No raise in over a year, and due to recent changes in the company, I don't expect to see any raise in the future. They are fine with reducing employee count in order to save money at the cost of their employee's well-being. It's definitely a cliquey environment, and if you don't conform, you are ostracized. Family and friends of upper management get jobs and promotions much more easily than others who have been working there for longer/ have more responsibilities. 

This job has been the worse job in the world. I was always on call.. they call me and I jump! I never got a thank you... We appriciate all that you do not once in the whole 3 years that I worked for them. I did get allot of my experience from them but basically learned as I go. Then it would take three weeks for me to even get paid for the weekend that I worked. The ONLY thing I loved about this job I got to travel in lots of different states.

The leadership felt too comfortable with the leaders it had and would not face that it needed help redirecting the ship.  Example, There was great focus on making sure the $9 hour workers were being challenged and manged ever step but the $100K sales person just waited for the time a customer wanted to place an order.   Very top down and not willing to look in the mirror leadership.  

My position as a sales representative is the best. I work about 8-15 weekends a year. However many I decide I want to work. I get to travel to the weekend long jobs. They pay for the hotel and your meals. Anytime I have an issue, a simple call to upper management and they ALWAYS have a solution and are so helpful. They treat me like a person and they value you me as such.
