Cato Corporation Employee Reviews

I love working at cato

Terrible. The district manager Brian Swope , is VERY unprofessional & VERY immature.

Cato is a nice place to work.

Loved the people as well as the customers plus having a new work experience every day. Not worth the pay for what's all expected of you especially now when they bring in new associates making near or more than what the older associates are making that have been there for double digit years.

I work at Cato and I really like going to work and dressing body forms, but I do not get paid enough and we get paid bi-weekly to get chunk change. I work hard and I feel that I deserve to at least be paid for my diligence.

The team I work for is amazing. Very hard working people who are underpaid and this company doesn't deserve them, honestly. Corporate, however, is a joke, & very contradicting when it comes to policies & procedures.

I like the honesty from my Leadership DM

We strive to work as a team.

Team Players, from the highest to the lowest level.

I am an assistant manager and the store manager is the best because she is funny, serious, and very hardworking.

Care about their employees and change their baby boomer mentality.

teamwork, its to stressful here

Dismissing employees who have been faithful to the company after you have closed a store and not compensating with good faith to that employee. I thought Cato was a great company. 11 years I served and out the door with no severance no thank you no nothing. What comes around goes around.

The pay isnt on scale with the market rate in the area for the same position

What compensation are we referring to?

Pays good money for amount of work

Review from Sales Dept

There isn't a compensation package

Review from Sales Dept

I get paid more than I expected for my position. Especially with bonuses!

Review from Sales Dept

Everyone at this company is undervalued because the upper management and ceo make terrible decisions. The bad decisions start with the leadership team and then everyone else is blamed.

not living paycheck to paycheck having to scrape by every month to make ends meet. After 4 years only making one dollar above min wage is unacceptable.

To be paid more and for our so called bonuses to be more that a joke! It is rediculous

Over haul the entire company.

The amount of work and requirements for the job for example low payroll hours and low starting wages for employees. Raises outside of the 10-25 cent raises per year they give would boost morale.

Review from Sales Dept

We all want to be team players. We're professional, we want what's best for the store and the customers, respectful of management, management are respectful of staff, I enjoy the leadership of our District Manager Marcia P.

They work hard & they are very friendly.

We work well together and love to get feedback from each other to improve. We also buy each other snacks and lunch when we have the money.

We work well with one another and build off each other's strengths and weaknesses

My manager is the best thing about it

There are good people working for Cato but the leadership is terrible and this creates significant morale issues.

My coworkers & I all make sure to keep our store a very positive & uplifting place. We want to see our customers happy & satisfied when they leave. I do feel like we all work harder than we should. We honestly dont get paid enough for what they require us to do.

We desire to meet the needs if the customer and the goal of the store.

We have a mix of several different cultures and we manage to satisfy all of them.

We have merchindise that is trendy and stylish

All work well together and help each other

Competent, successful, experienced leadership would be a great start

They dont care about theor employees at all. Sure they offer you health care, but itll cost half you paycheck. Who can live on that?

The higher up management needs to be more involved

Review from Sales Dept

My store manager was very down to earth & made the interview process a lot more comfortable. I was extremely nervous, but her sharing her story about her first interview helped calm me down. It made the interview relatable because she's felt that nervous before too.

The truth with manager and dependable on the job.

I was hired on the first day of the interview.

She understood the reasons that I had left my previous job and didn't reject me right away just because of how long I was there.

I was able to be myself

i dont even know, the business is stuck in the 60s

Positive honesty and reliablity of my coworkers

dressing body forms and setting the sales floor with the store manager.

Seeing the smile on the customers face

helping the customers feel confident

Being able to go to work in a non stress filled space

Quit closing stores and stiffing your faithful employees.
