Boscovs Employer Reviews

I loved the store! I loved the clothes! ! loved the assistant manager!

A typical day at work was good. The usual folding, cleaning, assisting,opening and closing, and cashiering.
I learned how to handle a new client. Working in the Misses department gave me the oppotunity to grow as a worker. The management was great. The hardest part of the job was being pregnant and lifting heavy boxes. The most enjoyable part of the – more... job was working. – less

i had gotten written up for my first time of not being able to come in on a day i was scheduled and i did not receive a warning. this person just wrote me up. the management SUCKS They Have No Respect For Their Co workers. they make you work practically every weekend, they Dont understand that things do come up and things do happen and they just expect – more... your life to be perfect but Thats not how life is anymore. They Pick favorites and they are very unfair. i wouldnt recommend working here unless your like 50 years of age. its not a good work place for teenagers. . – less

Boscov's is a great place to work for. I love working with customers and others at the job. The management encourages others to do better. I learned all about retail.

It was a fun place to work for during my first time in visual. Nice people to work with you felt like a family their.

very friendly co-workers. typical retail environment. feels like I'm back in catholic school. very strict management.

Coming in with a postive attitude it usually set the day. I have learned over the years to listen to what the Clients say. And address that concern 1st. And of course showing or sampling how to get the most out of your concern.
Co-Workers. Just making sure we are here for the Clients and not ourselvels.

The hardest part of the job is when you can't – more... give the clients what they want due to stock. That is why it is important to know what's comfortable to that product. – less

Everything was great unil I got pregnant. Then management and Human Resources ended up terminating me without actually terminating me. They said it was a possibility for me to come back. I guess, they didn't want me to be there long enough to qualify for FMLA. Otherwise, I worked with a great team. I worked for Lancome and made record sales and gained – more... many clients for the store. – less

Very nice place to work. I was only seasonal but had no bad things to say. I just wish i could of got a permenant position, only problem was the store manager was a little nasty at times i heard from others but he never got nasty with me.

Mostly everyone in the workplace was very out-going and very nice to customers as well as I was which made for a very easy season. Most of the days were busy as it was just seasonal work. I learned different things on the register. (ex. how to sign customers up for credit, locate merchandise in the store or other stores..etc). Most of the managers were – more... very helpful but some acted like they didn't care and wouldn't always help when needed. Also one of the high up managers were very rude and acted out in front of customers which shouldn't happen. There were no really hard parts to this job, it was all very easy, and i love working with others especially for the public. some people would even say they would rather come to my register because i acted like a friend to them and helped them very much and hearing that would make for a great day. – less

I liked it when they kept me on a certain task instead of moving me from department to department without allowing me to finish projects that I had started.

Enjoyed cosmetics sales, was able to utilize my Cosmetology experience.

I worked there as a Area Manager for both seasonal and housewares. Management worked you like you were a robot, expected way too much from you. The pay was good, but not for all the extra work they required. Little training ( other than register). Never got to take breaks. Management lacked communication through each other (each member requested you – more... do something different). There was room to move up in the store, only because the turnover was high. Benefits were good if you could afford them (135 for single associate bi-weekly). Definite favoritism. If you were in the 'in' crowd, you could get away with murder. Extremely fast paced with never enough help. POS systems way outdated. it was actually embarrasing to use them in front of customers. the list goes on and on....... – less

They pay pretty fairly and I also received commission which was great. My main problem with this store is that the human resources manager is a horrible person. She is terribly rude and mean. She has favorites and doesn't even try to hide it. I left because I could not stand to work under her anymore. Also the cosmetics manager has no idea what she – more... is doing and might as well not be there at all. – less

Sorry for anyone that works here, Boscovs in Binghamton will not give you a raise or treat you like a human being, these people are very rude and snotty. I don't even shop at boscovs anymore becasue it was such a horrible working experience that I am afraid to go back.

job isnt meant for everyone. almost everyone who worked or is still working there, has had to obtain a second job to make ends meet.

i guess if you are into getting the discounts, then it makes it worth while to work there.

A typical day at work is helping customers find the coat/dress that they are looking for. When I started this job I didn't have as much experience, but now I know how to deal with customers that are either very difficult or easy to deal with. As far as the people I work with go. They all seem to be pretty easy going, enjoyable people to work with. The – more... hardest part of the job would have to be when it isn't busy. The most enjoyable part is getting to help those that come to do their shopping at Boscov's. – less

Open/closed register while completing accurate sales transactions. Completed biweekly inventory audit while preparing visually inclined merchandise displays. Conducted mandatory cash till counts according to company adherence standards. Throughout the day i also did inventory and helped out with stock.

Fun co-workers
Friendly management
Good parking spaces
Hours

Everyone was nice and patient, making work days not very stressful and actually workable.
