Tuesday Morning

This place is like your elderly great aunt who lives four states away, well meaning, will send a gift basket when you graduate, but when something real and difficult happens they never seem to answer the phone. I worked at the location in Lakewood for several months, I gave so much effort into that job I gave myself a leg and back injury, and I wasn't even 20 years old yet. The manager and assistant manager at the time (when I was hired and up until I stopped working there) were very kind women, however they had just taken over the store and had very little control over the employees, specifically the key holders. 1 key holder in particular, who had been managing the store while there was a lapse in management, had several of their friends hired on (without disclosing a prior relationship with these people to management) and consequently gave their friends all of the "good" shifts where they would do minimal work and complain about the work and the management the entire time, and thus stick me and one or two other token employees who actually accomplished things with the late night weekend shifts; where we had to clean up their mess and frantically move merchandise around to new displays while also closing and resetting the store. When the truck would come, it would always be me, a token employee, and the key holder and one of their friends unloading; but then after the truck was unloaded and had driven away, the key holder and their friend would go sit in the break room and eat and drink coffee and be on their phones and chit chat for a good chunk of time /on the clock/. Thus me and the one or two other token workers were stuck with actually unboxing the merchandise and shelving it, and because we were down two helpers, often we were asked to stay an extra 1 2 3 hours after our shifts were over to make up for the merchandise that was still not shelved. 

Several times I had it shifts taken from me where the key holder would text me before my shift and tell me not to come in because there wasn't enough labor hours to pay me, and instead allow their friend to stay an extra 4 hours on the clock to help close. These people also discriminated against me as a lgbtq identified person I harassing me in the form of pestering me for my birth name and constantly misgendering me, then giving a mock sarcastic correction with my correct pronouns. I would like to also point out that I was much younger than these people (19 at the time), and I was being bullied by adults in my workplace.

The management of course saw that there was something shady going on, told the the key holder that taking shifts away from me was unacceptable and that favoritism would not be tolerated. But at the end of the day, all management did was apologize to me and nothing got fixed. 

I believe that the problem employees and key holder have been terminated from this location, but regardless the store is closing down and it is not worth the emotional labor for a job as temporary as this. 



In all the time I've worked for Tuesday morning (2 years) the manager has changed 3 times. There was one manager out of the 3 before that was good, but she was treated badly by everyone higher than her position to the point where she left the company. The other manager was not trained properly and never given any help, just threatened with termination when they messed up. the last manager of the 3 was just plain lazy and useless, always locking themselves always in the back and never helping with any tasks where they were required. The current manger is OK, but has moments of pure stupidity, forgetting that they took money out at the beginning of the day and making the closer go crazy wondering what happened. They have to call the manager and ask what happened to get a "oh right i did that". Its fine if the manager is nice and down to earth, but they have to be a manager as well. The DM makes on the ball decisions that make no sense and backfire almost instantly. This makes the workflow grind to a halt, just to move the DMs mistakes back where they were before. There's no sense of accomplishment for making on the ball decisions, if you do something yourself that they don't like, its scrapped and changed completely next time you're in. At the same time though they want to tell you to make your own decisions and "make it work". Raises consist of maybe a dime above what you had before and the work day is sometimes just you alone working while the other worker is stuck in the back of the store in sitting in the office. The store has horrible units that can cut you open if you're not careful. On top of this the manager has been cut deeply and simply took care of the wound themselves instead of putting in a document about the accident. If anything this job has taught me how to deal with many situations in customer service which is nice. The job can be stressful when you are the only one at the register and there are 10 people needing help and sporting an attitude, while the other worker decides to just not help or takes their time. Honestly working with some coworkers does help and the job isnt hard. But this company has the worst corporate and some of the worst work ethic i've seen in some managers and other employees.

I've been out of the company for a bit.  I didn't post dates of employment because they will match up with others and I don't want to paint a target on co-workers' backs.  Retaliation is a reality with this company.  Debated posting a review at all, but the current company rating is undeserved and prospective employees should get a heads up.

if you need lines on your resume, this is an ok position, but don't make plans to have a career here.  As a manager you WILL be overworked, lied to and lied about, disrespected and undervalued.  a typical work week will include 3-4 open to close shifts.  

You will be scheduled for breaks, but the available staffing hours are not enough to allow you to be off the floor.  

At some point, you will work 5 am-830pm.  Expect that to happen with depressing frequency.  It has happened to part time (4 hour a day) workers without warning and no more than a dismissive shrug from up-line management.  

you will be allotted 80 hours of vacation time.  Never more than that, no matter how many years you put in.  given the 50-60 hour work weeks, that amounts to a week and half.  It's replacement time, SO If you are understaffed and working 7 days a week (sadly common) your vacation time is reduced to just over a week IF you can get somebody to cover your time.

The company really doesn't have good leadership or infrastructure.  You won't see the kind of metrics and technology that are industry standard.  my overall impression is that the company was small, grew faster than the existing leadership could manage, and every challenge since has been met with a short term band-aid solution rather than forward thinking long term ideas that will propel the company forward and make it continuously successful.

Overall, my time with the company was frustrating, demoralizing and left me feeling overworked and belittled.  I've worked in worse situations, but not many.  Turnover for PT staff reached 300% at one point.  Nobody appreciates the company, it does NOT appreciate its employees, is poorly run, and does not have much of a future.  IF it survives the pandemic and IF you need to show career progression on your resume, or you need something for the time being, then go for it with eyes open.  Otherwise, there are far better choices out there.

I've worked at Tuesday Morning for almost four years and I've seen a lot of people come and go. I started as seasonal, but luckily my assistant manger convinced my manger to keep me after Christmas. I was made a key holder/part-time manager after two of my managers were terminated and we acquired a new district manager. Right before I was promoted I was sent to another store while mine was being moved. The manager at that store made me a key holder and taught me the basics. I was basically a fill-in while I was there. Doing jobs others didn't want to do. I learned how to merchandise and recover properly. When our store was ready to be moved in to, I got another manager and a new assistant manager. I learned a lot while we moved in. How to build units properly and how to help people who were new. 

 A typical day now is usually a little stressful. Most of the time you have a "job" in the store that needs to be accomplished. For example: resetting and entire aisle because new items coming into the store. I'm usually the one who makes the store look "pretty". I am also one of the top managers when it comes to customer service. Willing to do everything I can to make my customers happy.  Most days I enjoy my job, but I'm stuck now and there doesn't seem to be anywhere for me to go. I'm looking for another place to learn and spread my wings. 

 I would have to say the hardest part of my job is picking up after my manager. My manager has mastered making it look like he's doing something or keeping busy, but the reality is that he is just wasting time. It slows everyone else down. He also doesn't teach by example. I recently told him he was folding towels wrong, because they are supposed to be folded a special way, and he said he folded them correctly. He then took the towels he was working on and his them in the back of the unit. Not only did he put them with the wrong color, he folded them incorrectly. Right after I said something to him. It makes my job very difficult when I have to clean up after someone who has been there years longer than I have.
 
 Tuesday Morning is a good filler job, but that's all it should be.

Tuesday Morning could be an ok place to work but its rare for there to be more than just the manager and one other employee working at anytime. The company expects the person at the front to run the register, help customers get things off of high shelves, move furniture into customers cars, straighten and recover most of the store, and then put together things like lamps or tag merchandise, all while never leaving the register uncovered. It's obvious that the management has never worked in a store because they would realize that it is impossible. Then on truck days the employees have to unload an entire truck and the company wants the employees to open the boxes as they come off the truck. Lots of the merchandise comes untagged and wrapped with lots of packing. At the store I'm at we have about 4 women working on these days. There are boxes that contain very large heavy furniture pieces that we have to unload. When the upper management visited on a recent truck day they implied that we should be able to unload the entire truck in an hour and 30 minutes. Lately there have been upwards of 450 boxes on our trucks and each box can sometimes have ten or more items/boxes inside. Again, its obvious management has never actually worked a truck day. Just the empty boxes and trash alone take most of the day to break down and empty. Customers constantly complain about how hot the store is but management doesn't seem to care.  The company is about to lose good employees because they don't listen to us. Several of our best employees are about to leave because they have given up on the company. They gave pennies for raises . They promote you and then say because you got a promotion and a little bit more money for tons more responsibilities that you don't get a raise. They pay almost nothing for keyholders but expect them to be like managers with the same work requirements.

I worked for this company for 6 years, and the way they treated me...I would not recommend it to anyone, not even someone I hated.

The best way I can describe this company...It's a joke to work for them...A cruel joke. 

You will NEVER have a stable schedule.
Your hours will ALWAYS fluctuate, never allowing you to save money and only allowing you to scrape by. So much, in fact, that I would have to go 2-3 days without eating at times. Their excuse for the fluctuation in hours, which happened every week mind you, was "We went over hours" ...How?...You scheduled them...they were approved...how? Every week?...Something obviously needs to change.

Then when they would get 'more hours', they would hire more people...which in turn, kept all the other people who were already there, and willing to work more, less hours after that week...Seriously, I saw a lot of others get down to 3-4 hours a week, come in, be the butt of a joke by a manager, and then walk out saying 'It's not worth it.". And to be honest, it really isn't. 

The final straw for me, however, was when I caught the manager LITERALLY falsifying the payroll. Lay-mans terms, not paying me the money that I was owed for working. This would be 50-100 dollars a week....EVERY...WEEK...However, when I brought it to the attention of the higher ups in the company, literally did the investigation for them, showed them photographic evidence of what was happening, and then they even did THEIR OWN investigation...Nothing. No disciplinary action, no explanation on what they did, I didn't even get the money that was owed to me.

So, in closing, and like I said before, I would not recommend anyone to this job. It was a terrible way to spend 6 years of my working life, and if I could go back in time to warn myself back then to get another job, I would take that chance in a heartbeat.

On a typical day you would show up to Tuesday Morning Inc. and say hello to a fair amount of friendly folks/associates before clocking into work. Once clocked in you could no longer carry any food or electronics on your person, and were expected to be in your established work startup area to meet with your fellow department associates before listening up to our department supervisor on the new weeks expected goals, last weeks numbers, room for improvement, handing out "thank you" cards and etc. From there our supervisor would assign us our designated group and send us on our way to our first trailer assignment until about 7 p.m. when we get our daily paid lunchtime, and then return at around 7:30 p.m. to work again until 11 p.m, the end of our shift. I would say that the workplace culture was very laid back as opposed to other companies i had worked for previously, which were very fast paced. You're coworkers are all friendly and are always willing to collaborate with you in order to complete a task, all in all a great workplace culture experience. The hardest part of the job i would say is just the amount of physical labor you must be willing to put in for the establishment, being that you are in truck trailers for the majority of your time lifting boxes weighing from 3 lb to 150 lb, but with the help of fellow associates, pallet jacks and forklift drivers, you more or less fair pretty well.
Again the most enjoyable part of the job would have to be the relationships you build with your fellow coworkers. After about a year of working for Tuesday Morning i felt as though i had gained a lot of valuable lessons and friends throughout my time with the company, some that i will never forget.

Tuesday Morning is, probably more than, a decade behind other retailers in technology, operations, and marketing. Most of my job was manual until I'd been there over a year when we finally onboarded with a marketing automation tool. We also outsourced so much work that those working in-house were robbed of valuable learning opportunities that would make us competitive in the job market and help us keep up with trends and advances in our fields.
Tuesday Morning is trying to foster a culture, but I'm not sure they know what kind of culture they're after. I asked in my initial interview what the culture was and was told there wasn't one. During my time there, HR tried to foster some kind of community, but the vision and direction of where that was headed were lacking severely. 
In my personal experience, leadership was more focused on soft skills than hard skills-something that is a big no for trying to compete in a closeout retail industry. We lost valuable time in advancing marketing efforts because leadership either had no marketing experience whatsoever or couldn't manage their team out of a paper sack.
Being in the job market again has made me realize Tuesday Morning does not offer their team members any opportunities for learning outside of their role or even opportunities to keep up with current advancements. Because of that, I am years behind my competitors. 
While I enjoyed my team members and certainly learned a lot while I was there, I believe there were so many missed opportunities to really grow the company.

i got hired for this job at age 20, and it is the slowest job ever. meant for someone in their 50s. the pace is too slow, i would check one person out every half hour. not a friendly environment and i hated everything about the job. coworkers/manager talked down to me because i was younger (not because i was inexperienced). i felt as though i was outcast by my coworkers because i was new. on top of that i was mainly just someone to stand behind the counter and aside from that my job was to "tidy up" the front of the store, which doesn't keep anyone busy. but then they want you to have something to do all day but don't give you any actual time consuming jobs? that made it feel like time actually STOOD STILL inside this store. very out of wack and there was no order to anything, they don't even have planograms for how their store should be set up. the WORST part though is that they force you to clock out half an hour after the store closes, even though after that you have to go to the back of the store with the manager until they finish putting in and sending off the days info, just so you can walk out and hear the alarm sound before you can leave. so you end up being forced to stay an extra half hour after the store closes (that you ARE NOT getting paid for) before you can go home. i did not work this job for long, the first day on the job i knew i couldn't stay there. everything about this job is horrible in my opinion, if you are in high school or in your twenties, do NOT apply here. you will actually be bored to tears working at this store, i was :')

My very first job, 3+ years working here, started $8 an hour now making 10.50 an hour. Starting pay now is probably 9.50. 
I never called in sick and always showed up on my scheduled time. you will be expected to always give 100%. You will work harder than others but receive same pay. We receive lots of heavy items in trucks like Rugs, cement statues, cement benches, furniture, large planters. Please be careful of your back, there is lots of labor in this job especially for guys. You only have one back. 
Schedules are made every Friday for that following Sat, Sun & week. There is no advanced schedule. It’s Impossible to make plans. Trucks are every Tuesday, if the truck changes, your schedule changes. Truck changes are frequent. From the time you clock in and the time you clock out, you are always on your feet helping customers, taking phone calls, cashiering, pricing and stocking new merchandise, recovering/fixing merchandise. This store is usually always understaffed. if you wish to work a lot then you will have no problem getting hours. Even though I’m unhappy here I do not regret anything. I have experienced so much, good and bad. I recommend this job for anyone who is single and no kids. especially someone younger 18+ 
I believe this job is great for experience like a summer job or until you find a better job or even use this job to fund your side business. Do not get stuck here like I did. This is a dead-end. The promotions are not worth the stress and pay. The people here are great and very nice. They make the job better and the customers are mostly elder people who are very kind.
