I very much enjoyed my time at Family Christian Stores. Not only did I enjoy it as a work place, regarding employee policies, procedures, advancement, etc., but I so enjoyed working with customers. As an avid book lover and a Bible student, I really felt a sense of accomplishment when I helped a customer find that perfect book, music, or gift.
Abused – May 20, 2012
Everything in this review is CORRECT!! I worked for this company for 12 years...it was to the point, that I cried all the way to work most days. It is not worth the stress. And, no pay raises for 5 + years....not even a cost of living raise...always expected to put in more hours, given less payroll etc, but no raise and often told "you are not getting a raise because you are hurting the company not helping." This really is sad, but it is no longer a Christian company, it is a regular company that sells Christian product. They use scripture and christian values to spiritually abuse its employees if they have trouble getting World Vision kids sponsored! At Thanksgiving, we were told, "If you have not met your World Vision Quota, you should be ashamed to sit down at a table with your family and eat a big Thanksgiving meal." And then they say its not about the numbers....
