Begin earning vac after 1 year based on hours worked. BUT actually USING vac time earned is another story!! Ridiculous amount of blacked out times! Not only ALL major holidays but anytime they have "events" planned. Its blacked out periods. This includes ANY promotion sales... so it's ALL the time! Then they allow only one week at a time. If planning major vacation (cruise, etc) you need permission from much higher up: store mgr's boss's boss!! Ridiculous ! You earn it but can't use it & when it gets close to vac hours expiring & you're trying to use ANY of it before losing those days...you are chastised for not using it earlier???? Can't win ????
