Romantix

I worked at Romantix for 6 months, and for the most part, it was an okay job - just terrible management, in my opinion.
A typical day at work would be clocking in and immediately making sure inventory is put away for our shift. Then making sure everything is organized and where it should be, which was easy enough and rarely a problem. We would deal with all sorts of customers - as you could imagine in that environment - but rarely had any issues with the  customers there.
Since it was my first job, I learned a lot. For example: how to run a cash register, how to handle a safe, how to multitask on the job, how to handle certain situations appropriately, etc.
The hardest part of the job was dealing with rowdy customers; sometimes we'd get people coming into the store intoxicated, since the store is close to a local bar, and they would always mess something up or become disruptive to the point of us employees having to ask them to either behave or leave. Another difficult part of working there was the communication between the manager and the sales associates - the main manager rarely told everyone certain important information; for example: the manager would only tell one or two employees about vendor meetings, and when certain things need to be done, and other employees would find out by being wrongly accused of doing things wrong or from another sales associate, which in my opinion isn't professional of the manager.
The most enjoyable part of working at Romantix was the fun environment, the nicer customers, and how laid-back everyone was.
The management at Romantix, in my opinion, could have been much better had a certain employee not been chosen to become manager. Said person never listened to the employees when we needed a certain day off, or couldn't work a certain shift. Instead, the manager would just put down the employees for whatever day/shift was best for them (the manager). For example, every single employee was required to work at least two of the three holidays towards the end of 2014 -- Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. The manager made everyone else work every holiday, but didn't work any of them.
Overall, I loved working at Romantix, I just had a very big problem with the management.

The role the job serves in the economy is a growing one as the lack of adult education in schools is becoming greater, so one of the big requirements, or at least aids, is knowing a bit about anatomy and the products you sell to better educate others in having a more fulfilling intimate life with or without the products the company sells. Given the slow pace of the job with a few exceptions in the week/year it can be manned by a single worker at a time which leads to a lot of communication with superiors or other workers at shift change or over the phone so its very appealing to people who prefer working alone without much hand holding. The day in and day out work pace is rather quick even if customers aren't in abundance as there are always things to do on an overall store maintenance level to keep it looking aesthetically pleasing and clean, not including the daily tasks with shipments and other clerical requirements. I'd say the hardest part of the job is keeping everyone on the same page because of the single person per shift if someone makes a mistake then there is a lot of backtracking to correct the error. The most fulfilling part of the job and why I enjoyed it is the customers that were willing to listen and learn about new things because they made my day fly by and I felt I was making a change in the world, no matter how small. In contrast there will always be the customer that comes in either as a prank and will get very personal very quickly as a joke, which can be unnerving given the professional state employees are required to maintain.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I see myself evolving everyday. More knowledgeable, more insightful, patience and mindful, learning from and with our community members. We realize its not just sales, its the costumers satisfaction and trust we build. Knowing their needs and wants and delivering quality products. As for the management. I too had doubts. Even as a member of management. I realize as I grew into my position, I held my self to a higher standard . Well they do too.  Which is on of the great qualities in our management. Tough because we need to be. Community wants quality we give, u ask for great costumer service we provide it.  Management thas been kind understanding and will work with anyone. GREAT COMPANY TO WORK FOR AND GROW WITH AS I AM A PROUD MEMBER OF MANAGEMENT  FOR ROMANTIX . My opinion is Romantix is the best in the industry. Wouldn't want to work for anyone else. With hard work and determination they see your hard work and verbalize it and congratulate it through their shout outs. For all to see the hard work does not go unseen. As for pay. Everyone must start somewhere. Why not here.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometime the tasks can be a handful. So many things to remember 


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very fast paced. 
New items all the time. Such a large DVD selection and the costumer can be hard to deal with at times.   But all together a descent place to work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Accomplishing daily tasks and try to complete yesterdays time while doing it try to beat yesterdays goal as well.
Setting out new items and learning them as well.

I moved my way up through the company eventually rising to District Manager, there is a career here for those who want it. 

I was impressed that through the many locations I worked in and with that there was a consistent culture of customer service excellence and product knowledge. 

It's retail so turnover is high, but people actively sought employment here because it was different and unique, but they all shared the belief that this was an important part of people's lives and that the work they were doing was worthwhile. 

There are always those with sour grapes, bad attitudes and ludicrous expectations, but everyone held together and kept moving forward. 

As I worked my way up in the company I was pleased to find that everyone shared the same goals of being the best in the industry. There are a lot of people in the company with 20+ years in. The wealth of knowledge and experience makes working for the company a little overwhelming, but when you finally start to see all the strings you really get the sense that they are doing something special here and that everyone wants the same thing (to be the best)

They place more emphasis, training and experience in customer service and product knowledge than any other retail I've been in. And it shows.

I had the pleasure of working or the store in San Diego and Oceanside areas. This was my first time working for an adult entertaiment company and I loved it. A typical day was spent assisting customers and management with restocking product, putting away daily shipment, product knowledge and making sure that  the customer has a friendly,  clean and organized shopping environment. Management is always friend and very informative about what is expected of you on a daily bases. I can say i always enjoyed coming to work because the people i worked with were always friendly and fun to be with. if you work hard its pretty easy to move up in the company. I was offered back up manager position after my 90 days.The work environment was always laid back and fun. they have monthly contest and giveaways and they are always showing how much they appreciate their employees with bonuses and incentives. The hardest part of the job was the hiring and firing of employees. But i learned a lot from this company and would most definately work them again.

Romantix is a joke! What they sell at the interview & what actually is are two VERY DIFFERENT worlds. Upfront crop runs everything but has zero clue about how the warehouse is ran. Warehouse manager kisses croporates butt, so the employees pay for it. It’s not hard work, but there’s always a hidden agenda. They’re on you about numbers but don’t properly set you up for success. Internet is always going out (basically using residential internet) so your laptop will always freeze, battery dies offen (they rarely buy new ones & management keeps it in office so unusable) “excused” absences or not, they stick out at the hardest part of the packing side (trained or not) which doesn’t seem bad until you realize 1 day cost you 3 weeks of attitude. Really low pay for the company & will try to reel you in with the bonuses (they are small & not worth the time) don’t fall for it. All & all it’s poorly ran & corporate doesn’t give two shizas about it’s warehouse employees. If desperate apply, if not keep looking!

FYI: Benefits package is a joke! HR sucks & does NOT work for you!

Romantix is expanding and it's nice to have a front seat to all the awesome excitement to the new stores openings, remodeling existing stores, expanding the Romantix brand. A typical day at work is never repetitive since the industry is evolving so much there is never a dull moment at work everyone at Romantix is friendly. This company really takes pride getting all employees involved regardless of their position or seniority with everyone having a helping hand in expanding the brand. I have learned so much working at Romantix it's been a blessing to have all your resources at your fingertips and Corporate not be a foreign island like most corporations and having everyone involved is the best part of working here and I mean it everyone is here to help each other to succeed and be successful as a Romantix team. I love you Romantix and I love to come to work everyday. If your interested or curious to work here the best advice I can give anyone would be GO FOR IT! I've never been happier! :)   

Positions:
2014 Store Manager
2015-2016 Crisis Manager
2017 Operations Coordinator

Enjoyed working with some of my coworkers and customers. 

Learned something new everyday about the products and industry.

Benefits were pretty good. If you managed to get the paperwork and the time to look everything over before it was required to be sent back in.

Fax machine/Printer was very temperamental and couldn't decide if it wanted to work or not on any given day.

Corporate needs to get themselves in check, stop looking for reasons to fire or let go of the team members early just because they try to do their jobs right and try to let you know what's going wrong. They ignore their own policy guide until it's convenient for them despite what happens to the associates. 

There is no place to park without getting ticketed unless you pay the city for a parking pass to the ramps and even then you aren't sure if the ramps are full or not.

Hopefully they get themselves together. Most of the problems reside within corporate. Start the cleaning at the top and work your way down.

I worked in a corporate position and although I enjoyed my day to task part of my employment. The day-to-day in an office of poor management and lack of any communication skills was grueling. Lots of inappropriate conversations belittling retail associates etc, very unprofessional. The company has not done well financially and that has affected corporate bonuses and raises. There was no micromanaging which was great but also no backup or crosstraining if needed. As well as no management support, or even recognition. It's very cliquey for a male-dominated office setting, which leaves the 'little people' out of any conversations about happenings of the company. Even at a corporate level, rules only apply to certain people and others are exempt. There is no room for any real advancement within corporate positions. Some perks as free merchandise, and a free lunch here and there. Very unprofessional corporate culture. 

i would come in count the registers make sure they were on then i would go put the merchandise back onto the shelves and ask the customers if there is anything i can help them out with or if they need anything. A customer would wanna go to the arcade i would charge them $6 they can go back there to watch what ever movies are playing on the channel in the booths back there. Or if a customer is done shopping i would ring up the items and if they used a credit card i would go ask for id to verify its there card and have them sign there full name legiblly and that would be it. what i learned is the job is a long and hard job to have but you can learn alot about the adult industry on the customer service side.the hardest part of the job is the computer system they use for the register it took me a lil while to learn alot and i still was learning even more.the most enjoyable part of the job was to go home
