Gender Equality

“You don’t wear the right underwear to be promoted.”

Attitude towards older colleagues

Turn 50 or get sick and they “phase out” your job title.

Environmental Friendliness

I was told on day one FYE stood for F Your Employees - I learned that’s not a joke

Challenging Work

Over worked is always a challenge.

Inclusive / Diverse

All white men with token black, gay, handicap, lesbian

What I like about the company

It’s founder - who’s now dead

Company Culture

The people who make this company tick are seriously just awful.

Support from management

The company doesn't allocate enough hours to get enough staff on. I would open the store and be alone for 3 hours until I had someone on staff with me.

Teamwork

There is no team, just gossipy store managers and an even worse corporate office.

Freedom to work independently

You don't get to make a single decision. Corporate tells you how things will be.

Support from management

Management doesn't understand work life balance.

Teamwork

Have never worked with more lazy employees before. Everyone was out for themselves and would take credit for others work.

Overall compensation for your work

It was a constant struggle to get increases in pay and the time off policy was stripped in favor of a PTO policy that took away time rather than keeping it the same or giving extra time.

Also, it was frustrating when the company would give huge bonuses to executives but laid off lots of employees. The bonus structure was a joke and insulting at times. They didn't value their top performers and only when you resign do they magically find more money to try and keep you
