Rue21 Outlook Employee Reviews

What makes you most happy at work?

Coworkers, making the store look better

Feeling needed and appreciated, and I like to help people

Review from Product Dept

Being able to work comfortably and as a Part Time Manager showing my team that I appreciate their hard work but I can rarely do that if the Full Time Managers are around. We are not allowed to speak to each other in the work place. We are expected to persuade every customer to get cards.

The team. Rue has a lot of really good and interesting people who work there.

having kind customers and a quick shift

Seeing most of my coworkers everyday

I use to be happy at work till two new people came in and every since it has been toxic!!!

Ability to be innovative and creative daily.

Working with people that likes to work with me.

Being valued and reassured job well done

I love working with my team, sometimes we have a contest on who gets the most fragrance or how many people we can help by demonstrating gift. We even had a few customers come up to us and say how great it is to shop where everyone is great friends.

Review from Sales Dept

great coworkers that understand the grind

Thr end of the day

Working with friends and being able to come in, get done what has to be done, and enjoying myself while there.

being able to bond, comfortable with eachother, etc. but not recently

Review from Sales Dept

Working with fashion and fun coworkers

Serving the customers and selling fragrance.

The pay and the reduced hours

When everyone has a set schedule and tasks to do

Review from Sales Dept

Meeting with many different people across the world

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

Assortment of product, level of talent in the stores, and the executive teams capabilty to have clear concise direction

District manager needs to do better, product and visual materials need to be at the stores before the date they are supposed to be on the sales floor.

Review from Product Dept

Managment could be better than what it is

We need higher pay. Because ours is so low its hard to hire anybody since a lot of places offer up to $5 more per hour for just part time sales associates.

The rue21 rivergate location didnt have meetings. All decisions are based off of he said she said, and even the district manager has a communication issue. Alot of this locations issues could be resolved with better conflic resolution and communication skills.

Managers should be made accountable.

CEO doesnt understand retail only TV. Exec team is nasty and makes bad decisons.

Above my pay grade to have input

Boss forces us to lie for loyalty accounts.

Review from Sales Dept

People need to communicate better and stop being passive aggressive
