Dots Employer Reviews

Helping people find confidence through clothes. Fun environment, retail, customer service, etc

Very easy job to do always detailed and to policy. Team members work together, There is really no hard part to the job. The customers are great and thats helps make the job fun.

Assisted with the upkeep of rthe store, responsible for counting the shipment, and ensured the store was stocked all the time.
Greeted each customer pleasantly as they entered the staore as well throughout their shopping experience.

Open and close the store. Processing shipments, prepare deposits, prove cashier tills and organizing break schedules were some of my duties. Managing, training and motovating staff was rewarding.

The best place that I could have ever worked!!!! If you love working with clothes and helping people feel good about what they purchase, then this is an awsome place to work.

This was my first job,fresh out of middle school. Here,I learned and gained so much knowledge on retail. I believe this job has helped turn me into the dependable worker I am today. The best part if the job, were the clothes. The hardest part about the job was dealing with thieves

Loved the job itself. The coworkers were great and alwayss worked hard. I loved the work envirnoment and the customers. I enjoyed meeting new people. On the other hand we could have had better management team.

I loved the flexibility of this job, it just didnt pay enough becouse hours were extremely low

It was a good job, but overall it did not have good benefits nor promotional advancements.

Its great seeing everyones different styles, helping the customers break out of shells that they've never tried before with different styles.

typical day would be coming in at 5am and during these hours the store was close and you pick a section for you to start in or what ever section your manager tells you to and you began to ring all the clothes up on a scanner gun. this gun is set to tell you if anything is on sale or needs to be mark down.

Upon coming to Dots I had 6 years of retail experience which should have given me a little more than minimum wage. The job security at Dots is non existent you can lose your job at any second. I do not feel that the people holding management positions are worthy of the title. I have spoken with my co-workers about my complaints with Dots and they're – more... in agreeance. The hardest part of the job is staying motivated to do the job with such harsh conditions and poor pay. – less

A typical day included checking sales,e-mails,markdowns and visit from district manager or regional manager. Train and develop my staff for the next level like controling shrink and making our sales goals. Also want to make sure I was on the right track for the next level as well. The hardiest part was taking over a shrink store and don't know who to – more... trust. The most enjoyable part of my job is that I love what I do I put my heart and soul into it for the best results hitting our sales goal and a great customer base! – less

A typical day at work for me at DOTS would be scheduling, banking, sales review, merchandising, mark-downs, and costumer servicing. While being at DOTS i've learned how to be a team player, a great leader, multi tasker, how to be a successful recruiter and trainer. At DOTS there was not enough support from upper management. My co-workers were great – more... fun loving people like family. The hardest part of being manager of DOTS was having to leave the relationships built between co-workers and customers over the years even my coorperate family, The most enjoyable part of working at DOTS was showing my creativty in visual presentation, as well as meeting and greeting new customers on a daily basis. – less

Dirty strores Poor quality merchandise. Store managers who were not in the know about fashion trends. Heavy work load. No support from store manager or District Manager

Of all retail places I've worked, Dots was my least favorite. The management turn-over rate is horrible. Not to mention, a level of management, MITs are hired in to become the next store managers. Yet, MITs would quit because other store managers were hired instead. There is not chance to progress is management at this job. The customer base is ghetto, – more... high maintenance, and rude. Ecommerce isn't available for customers to purchase online. I cannot think of any perks to working for this company. I was not impressed at all. – less

A typical day at work would be processing cash and credit transactions,managing Inventory/ Shipping and maintaining appearance of sales floor. I learned how to use a cash register and how to make bank deposits for a business. I had very civilize relationships with my co-workers. The hardest part about the job there was a lot of down time. The most enjoyable – more... part of the job was that it was in walking distance from where i lived. – less

A TYPICAL DAY AT WORK CAN BE FUN AND PRODUCTIVE. YOU MEET A LOT OF FUN AND FRIENDLY PEOPLE . I HAVE LEARNED TO DO MY WORK AND KEEP MY PERSONAL LIFE TO MYSELF. THE CO-WORKERS CAN BE FUN TO WORK WITH , BUT SOME WILL GOSSIP AND TRY TO MAKE YOUR JOB HARD. THE HARDEST PART OF THE JOB IS SHOWING THE DISTRICT MANAGER WHAT YOU CAN DO , DISPITE WHAT HE MAY HAVE – more... BEEN TOLD. THE MOST ENJOYABLE PART OF THE JOB IS FEELING A SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT. – less

Dots could be an amazing job that is fun. You are suppose to give "the girlfriend" experience but that is very hard when the job is so stressful.

This company is great for high school students and people just starting out.
