Forever 21 Employer Reviews

I was constantly busy, got along with all the employees, and they were flexible with my schedule!

Learned a lot about visual merchandising, store management, sales and goals.

nothing to tell about this company other than its a good start for work experience................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Nice place to work and fun. They work you hours if you in school or work life. Benefits as not as good but it otherwise, very nice place.

was a great experience to work here, but overall was very stressful when i was in highschool i got off at very late hours which was the hardest part since i would have school the next day.

Always busy which the day passes by quickly, coworkers could be better.

Working for Forever 21 was my first work experience that thought me about the retail industry. As a stock I learned the procedures and process of handling clothing merchandise and the type of merchandise.

I didn't really like working in retail at all. I thought that I would love it but it was completely the opposite. I worked at the one in Hollywood that was brand new and my first shift there everyone stayed until 3am closing the store when it got closed to the costumers around 10pm. I thought that was completely ridiculous. My days working there involved – more... in folding clothes, doing go backs, and making sure things were organized (which seemed to never seem possible during a work day) – less

Upbeat and fun environment. This is a great place to work if you're just starting out and need a job or just have extra time. They're always busy so make sure you have lots of energy.

Customer service is a must, great place to have a fun job, Money handling skills learned.

I would clock in check emails go over the employees (which could be anything from 10-25 people at a time) I would have that day and as the manager I would have to zone them all out. They would then have to maintain that area and be aware of theft. I learned that customer service is'nt always a walk in the park. Some days I would just walk in and already – more... there's a raging customer and they would automatically get sent to me, for I was the manager. I was blessed with alot of patience so I didnt mind calming down the customer and trying to compromise but it was tough specailly on a saturday 2pm-12am shift it gets very exhausting. This job definitely tested my patience but I appreciated every situation that came my way because I took it as a lesson learned you learn certain words to use to calm down someone and you also get a rewarded feeling when you get that smile and "thank you" after you were just getting screamed at two seconds ago. – less

I spent very little time at this workplace, however while I was there i learned the values of responsibility and independence. I was away at school and had to do everything on my own.

A work day usually consits of ringing customers up and upselling our merchandise. Managing the cashwrap area, giving other cashiers breaks, filing paperwork, updating the sales every hour. I've learned that it's really important to know how to talk to people and keep a very calm attitude and be very detailed with instructions. The management could be – more... better there is a great amount of favortism played within the management staff. My co-workers are awesome they do a their jobs very well and are creative outspoken people. There is nothing that really hard about the job the hardest part probably would be not getting bored when work is slow. The most enjoyable part is the customers because some many different people come in and out of Forever 21. – less

The morning shift can slow but the end of the shirt is full of people. I learned how to management time in how long it would take me to do a task. Had a great professional relationship with staff. The hardest part of the job was cleaning. The most enjoyable part of the job was helping costumers.

I worked at a new store in Glasgow for 1 month as they let me go after this & said they were letting all temp staff go but some conveniently stayed! With 3 years of advanced retail experience i have never worked in such a bad place in all my life. Rotas never done, managers arrogent and cheeky! So unorganised , would go in for an 8 hour shift to be – more... told its been cut to 4. Never got out on time and no job security – less

Overall a fun place to work. Co-workers were friendly but there was not much room for advancement.

A typical day at work was a overnight shift staying past 12pm until 5am. lots of customer service, the only thing I learned that was beneficial was cash handling. it was hard to get to know co-workers because there was 200+ employees, with constant hiring and poor hours. Management was always new and they didn't know me by my own name.

This company is by far one of the worst companies that an individual could work for. The promises for growth and the ability to work your way up in the company are endless with no intention to deliver. After dedicating my life as an Accessory Manager for three years to this sole sucking company I finally decided I had enough. The lack of support and – more... respect from upper management both in the store and within corporate was inexcusable. The working conditions were not acceptable as well. There was not a sufficient area for staff to take breaks while management had a plush office on the second level to take breaks and enjoy their lunch. product was stacked at unbelievably dangerous heights that toppled on more then one occasion. i do not recommend this as a career path for anyone. You will have no opportunity to make a career or life for yourself especially considering the horrible pay, I no longer could live off of the 14.00/hr that took me three years to get, even with a bachelors and the fact they due to the economy their full time employees were only promised 30 hrs a week. – less

A typical day is at work can be very stressful if you are not use to working fast paced through out your entire work day but fellow employees make the your shift easier. Management tends to also make tasks a little easier and the most enjoyable part of the job in my opinion is to get an experience with fashion merchandising on another level with a retail – more... job. – less

Great environment. Learned a lot about retail. Staff was functional and great to work with.
