South Moon Under

This is definitely a work hard, play hard environment. Employees are expected to 'get the job done', but still have time to fit surfing, sunning, or happy hour at one of the local hot spots. Expectations are higher these days due to our growth and new store openings, but in most peoples' eyes, that would be a positive characteristic of a company.

We carry an eclectic mix of fashion and accessories, so it's always fun to keep an eye on how employees like to express themselves with their style.

Do not expect to be micro-managed. You want to be sure you have an entrepreneurial spirit, initiative, and can 'think outside of the box'.

The fact that the company is still privately owned and has been around since 1968 says something. Not to mention, the owner (Frank Gunion), still eats lunch every day with the employees....not your typical CEO of an organization.

Giving 3 stars ONLY because of my employees. My team was full of women who were hard working and extremely helpful. They would go above and beyond for the store but they were not recognized for the work they did. They were expected to come in at the drop of a hat. Mgmt. does not care about other managers. Just store managers. Written up for being 1 minute late but not a single "thank you" or acknowledgement for working 10-12 hours overtime for no extra pay. Lack of diversity training. HR has zero idea about what goes on in stores. Mgmt needs hobbies outside of work because this job is their life and their obsession with being petty to their own employees is pathetic. In a nutshell: Regional Manager and Store Manager need EXTENSIVE training before they can see success in their stores. 

A typical day at South Moon Under consists of me coming in for either an opening or closing shift. I am in charge of opening and closing the registers, coming up with a plan and bold goals for my assiciates, and managing my team to reach high productivity. We recieve shipment up to five days a week and I am responsible for merchandising these items to reflect brand standards. I enjoy working with my friendly coworkers and am happy to answer to my store manager. My favorite part of my job would have to be merchandising product in certain ways that gets customers excited about our brand and that they leave having had a fufilling shopping experience. I have learned so much about the visual aspect of the store and how much potential I have to keep being a productive respective manager.

I've worked here A little too long  and it was the most miserable workplace yet. If you're a hard worker, skip over this ad. They will see you work hard and make you pick up other people's slack. The company itself doesn't appreciate their workers. Whether you have experience or not you still don't get paid what you deserve. Zero benefits, zero space to move up, they make you do self evaluation forms and make it seem like you have potential to get a raise but they're so cheap that it never happens. The most you get is 30% off of over priced items. You get like 16 hours a week, then subtract your unpaid breaks & taxes..ha. The management is horrible, it's like working in a high school setting. Speaking of, it's all high school girls. If you are in high school this job is for you. Anybody older, don't bother.

South Moon Under was one of the most challenging and fun jobs I have ever had. Being surrounded by fashionable and positive people from all different backgrounds and walks of life had a major impact on my creativity and inspiration. Management was always helpful and excited to answer questions and teach associates new skills, making every part of the team a valuable asset to the company. There were many challenging aspects of working at SMU, but everything was accomplished through team work and positive encouragement. I have to say that every aspect of working at South Moon was enjoyable and taught me so much about the fashion merchandising and retail industry.

I honestly really liked my overall experience at SMU. My co-workers and managers were so awesome and I never had to deal with too bad of customers. Some of my favorite moments were actually with regular customers! The one thing that made me want to leave though was the time and pay. With the effort and time I put into the job, I would have hoped to get paid more, so it kinda sucked that they don't pay neither the sales associates or managers much. You're also on your feet constantly with pretty short breaks. I would recommend working here seasonally if anything!

By far, the worst retail company I have ever worked for. The customers are the rudest, most entitled people you will ever meet and the management throughout the company is the same. The compensation is horrendous and the work/life balance is non-existent. The employee discount was not even good and was different for associates, assistant managers and store managers--but we weren't allowed to talk about that! Which created an environment of mistrust and overall shadiness. Associates received 20% off product, Assistant managers 30% off and Store Managers 40% off.

Store manager is nice, understanding, and flexible with scheduling. Some of the assistant managers are not very pleasant to work with as they sit in the office and do nothing while you, a sales associate, are alone in the store. It feels really unfair that some assistant managers are so unhelpful but they are getting paid more. The store manager is friends with all the assistant managers and does not do anything about this. Overall the company is not a very good one to work for. They pay their employees the bare minimum and it is impossible to get a raise. 

While my current workplace is actually really fun and exciting, I do think the sick day policy is really disappointing, as I had to have my friend cover my shift, since you cannot cancel or anything. While this may also be logical to have someone else cover or else you have to come in, I was throwing up for hours straight and got no sleep, so thank goodness my one friend could cover both, but I just wish they had a better policy.

I worked at the Shops Around Lenox location, The Ponce City Market location as well as the Marlton, NJ location and i must say that the company as a whole is awesome to work for. This review is solely based on the Georgia location. The staff is extremely competitive, petty, full of behind the scenes drama and just mess. It made the work environment unbearable. I quit after the 6th day of constant shade being thrown. I’ve seen listings for ASM twice since I quit, the turnover will continue until they get those girls out of there.
