Productive and learning, but no progression
Sales Associate (Current Employee), Columbia, SC –
Pros: the work experience and customers
Cons: low pay, and no promotions
Is overall a good job, but promotions and advancements rarely come, I have been in training to be a manager for six months, and am still being underpaid despite the fact that I am performing manager duties. The work environment itself is a very productive one always insuring that the customer is satisfied and we are sure to go out of our way if necessary – more...  to satisfy the customer. – less

Great workplace.
Crew member (Former Employee), Fultondale, AL –
I loved working there, the people were great and I already knew how to fold clothes. The manager was awesome too and I got plenty of breaks. My coworkers were great and the typical day was pretty simple and similar.

Rue 21 employee Critique
Assistant Store Manager (Current Employee), Beckley, WV –
Pros: knowing that i made a difference helping someone
Cons: there are not enough hours in the day
Current duties include: receiving merchandise from vendors; facilitating daily tasks, and sales objectives to sales associates; handling customer questions and concerns; greeting customers upon arrival; operating the register; cleaning; completing and destroying necessary paper work; etc. I enjoy working with my fellow co-workers, as well as the customers. – more...  Trying to please everyone is a hard task; however, being determined and dedicated, in order to succeede and enhance productivity is what I do! I find all of these components enjoyable, and am unable to rank them on a scale. – less

Productive and very fun work environment.
Sales associate (Former Employee), Logan, UT –
Pros: music, clothes, discount
Cons: worked on day a week
There was always a lot of clothes folding and inventory to be counting. I learned theres a lot more to retail than I ever knew and the management was amazing. My fellow employees were amazing and so fun to work with there was very little drama involved. Inventory nights were by far the most difficult part of the job and the most enjoyable part was speaking – more...  with so many different types of people. – less

Rue 21
Sales (Former Employee), Madison –
Cons: everything
I feel like this one manager ABUSED her authority and has no idea what respect is. If you are young and cannot handle managing a business, don't.
