At first it was a place where I could learn from each day with the various tasks & customers; once I decided I was going to go back to school & not ask for the formal wear manager position & a new FOM was hired on, my store manager saw me as lazy & said "you have no plans for your life," sums it up.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Our team is full of creative individuals with one thing certainly in common, a passion for fashion.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
As long as you look professional, wearing a sport coat or blazer, & staying within dress code guidelines, you can express your unique style, so the environment can feel relatively relaxed unlike some companies where you can only wear black and white- I appreciated seeing various fashion expressions.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Putting their employees before their potential to make money, safety was a big concern during COV-19. We measure customers and were told to give a sick client to a manger if we were uncomfortable, a virus will not discriminate between job titles... Our safety did not seem like their biggest concern.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Giving regular raises to people after staying with the company. I worked there 5 years still making $12.5 hourly and there was an underlying "don't ask for a raise" attitude from my managers, and I did not get benefits even though I worked there full time- I was told not to tell by my managers.
What did you like most about the interview process?
The interview was easy. I was asked about my strengths, weaknesses, & asked about a time where there was a problem & how I solved it. Wear slacks and a button up with a tie (a blazer if you have one) & semi-formal shoes, or for woman slacks/skirt, a blouse, & a blazer. Ask about the turn-over rate..
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I worked full time & was not give benefits such as -much needed- health insurance, I was told not to tell but I am an open book and needed money, 5 years & no raise; even berated by my store & formal wear managers behind closed doors, moving the goal post so I never did enough- I did not deserve it.
