Yankee Candle Company Compensation Employee Reviews
All
Positive
Constructive
What is the best part about your compensation package?
its competeitve with other compatable jobs
Fairly compensated and great 401k match
Salary and bonus is competitive
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Paid $8.50 per hour, no benefits. No work/life balance, (clopening) when you close the store and then open in the morning, exhausting.
If I had health insurance and stock options.
Review from Sales Dept
They cut alot of your salary when you cannot make it to work, as well as only giving you a really really small percentage of the sales.
The pay is horrendous especially when you factor in the amount of time spent on your feet. Many times we did not get actual breaks due to understaffing. After two years without taking a day off I was told that I had a fourth of a sick day and half of a vacation day.
Review from Sales Dept
The compensation was increased later after I left and was fair rate. Before that the pay was minuscule.
A ten cent per hour maximum pay increase is nothing short of offensive. Need I say more?
Review from Sales Dept
As a second assitistant manager, I make .25 more than the seasonal associated who are students working part time.
Review from Sales Dept
Company doesn't value it's managers, and they definitely don't want to be competitive in wages in the market.
Pay us a livable wage if you want better sales people
Review from Sales Dept
For example, there is a monthly Pizza day hosted by the company but only permanent staff are allowed to eat. Candles are gifted to permanent staff while temporary are not even allowed to buy at discounted rated.
