World Market – It started pretty fun, good crew. It quickly devolved into the managers always chilling in the back room. It was all about getting things done, except when the managers wanted to talk. Bright side though, you get to be late everyday because your manager shows up 10 minutes late | Comparably

What did you like most about the interview process?

The manager conducting the interview.

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

It's an open store so it didn't feel confined or stuffy inside. The culture: it's a retail store that sells overpriced and ugly furniture there is no culture only sales.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

They act like they are the most intelligent people ever, I just feel like if you've worked your whole life and you're only a manager at World Market, that means you definitely are lacking some kind of intelligence.

What are some of the best things about your team?

They are some of the friendliest and nicest people I have ever met, which is only made worse by World Market taking advantage of their kindheartedness. I worked with one guy who was funny, kind, helpful, and if he didn't have an answer for you, he would find someone who would.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

If managers actually worked, hands on, everyday, in their departments. Right now it's 5 managers all with different titles, but they all do the same thing, so when a problem arises there isn't a dedicated manager to help with it. So instead you get several people on walkies asking for a manager.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

If there were any compensation. You are kept under 40 hours so they don't have to give you benefits, you are paid about $3-$4 less per hour than literally any other job in a 20 mile radius, and you have to pick up the workload of every single person slacking otherwise everyone gets in trouble
