99 Cents Only Stores Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

We were all agreeable and worked hard

Review from Sales Dept

Everyone would work together for the most part

The positive side is that costumers are kind and as you work there more often you build a friendship

I'm sure each store is different, my team is slow and complains alot about the job but they almost all want to be friends and be friendly with you and the customers.

The crew and customer it's management that's bad

My coworkers energy bosses dont really seem to care about anything but the checks

Good people citizens. All though we do get grumpy people but over all people are great

The store location is in a good area

The current GM make it great to be at work when I work with him

Review from Operations Dept

The great people and great customers

It all depends whose working on the days I work,some of my coworkers are positive to work with makes the day go smooth and some are just a body doing the bare minimum just there for a pay check don't put in the work.

Great team and communication skills

The benefits such as health and dental insurance

The store I work at, we all get along and care about each other, but that is not the case in all stores

Review from Operations Dept

They are friendliest co worker. And they are always available to lend a helping hand.

When the gm isn't there making our job horrible

The people i actually get along with who have gone up in positions while i have been left way way behind.

Different people bring ,Different energy .

There is a couple people i can still get along with

The fact that the employees put their life on the line because customers are constantly trying to get away with merchandise and some don't but most do

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Need to get a new store manager who actually cares about the company instead of sitting in the break room with three more associates taking over 30 minute breaks instead of 10 minutes and actually put it in put them on the rules and keep in the store clean

Review from Sales Dept

Strategic and in depth hands on training from the team and within company.

Evenly distribute the work and hiring new employees

Pay the employees pay pay

The training of management and easier way to contact HR than this

Review from Sales Dept

SLT needs to care! People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care!

Review from Operations Dept

New Leadership that actually listens to employees and cares about the culture.

That all states for the company of the 99 get treated equally

Review from Sales Dept

District mamagaer and higher up need more understanding

Everything from the top down

Get new people in there.

Review from Sales Dept

Honestly everyone has a negative side on them and when they tend to bring their problems to work it affects themselves and also the team.

Review from Sales Dept

To make the culture better, corporate team/leadership should value their store team members more highly in actuality,instead of only in lip service.

Review from Operations Dept

that part-timers do not make them work like full-time employees because they do not give them the same benefits

Review from Sales Dept

The owners of the company, well the owners kids that took over. They already make billions in profit and now they want more. Which means they cut the hours and our pay but expect us to work 10xs harder.
