Stein Mart Employer Reviews

overall it was a great experience for me i learned alot about retail in the time i was working there and made connections/built relationships with people with,became very motivated

Typically, a day at work begins with go-backs. In between go-backs, visiual aspects are changed or reworked. Customer service is always incoproated through out the day. There is management for each department and each is present almost every day. I truly do enjoy working with the people and customers. There are rarely days I come home feeling flustered. – more...  It is an enjoyable place to work. – less

stein mart is a good company to work for i learned about the point of sale systems and the ability to work on the cash register.

Very good company to work for great merchandise selection and has a great value. Currently just seeking to relocate back to Philadelphia

I worked for this company for 12 years as an assistant manager. I did everything that was asked of me including opening stores, working at different locations working overnight shifts etc. I was never appreciated at this company and after filling in for managers who were ill I was eventually let go because I didn't jump through enough hoops for the – more...  manager I last worked for.
It will give me great pleasure when this company goes out of business!! – less

I have very little good to say about this company. The company used to care about its employees, that has changed and now no one is happy working there.

A typical day at work for me would consist of me coming in and speaking to everyone. After clocking in, I would go and check each each fitting room. If they were clean I would go see if there was any merchandise to put out, if so I would put it out. If there was not, I would start scouting the floor and straighten and organize the racks as well as help – more...  customers when needed. I learned how to multi task with organizing merchandise and help customers at the same time. Management was helpful when needed. My co-workers were very helpful and fun. The hardest part of the job was keeping up with keeping the fitting rooms clean when we had big sales. The enjoyable part of the job was being able to make friends with my co-workers. – less

Co-workers were best, management could use improvement, too many clicks.

Cleaning the the store and tagged merchandise
Help the customers out.
Management was good to work with.

This is a great place to use as a stepping stone. Part-time work is great and the people are fun to be around.

If you like meeting customers and learning new ideas, this is for you.

Enjoyed my time at Stein Mart. Started working there as soon as I was 16. Had great bosses.

Very great experience, very nice people, loved working there!

The pay is not good and hours are not guaranteed. The store manager and assistant manager always have bad attitudes among their employees except when important people come to view the store such as the district managers. Their is no employee motivation within the store. They're short of staff and are too cheap to hire anybody else and the store ends – more...  up being a mess sometimes because their is no additional help. I suggest not to apply at the Hattiesburg location. – less

great company, great atmosphere, managers were helpful in trying to advance in company.

I worked at steinmart my first year of college, and while I enjoyed my coworkers and the job was simple, I wasn't paid well and my hours weren't acceptable. I left the job for another job.

During the week the mornings were pretty slow so that gave u s time to get things organized and prepare for the work day. When things picked up it made the day go by fast . I learned how they do things in the work place and multitasking is very important when working the customer service desk. The management team was wonderful good job training and – more...  there when we needed them. Co-workers were fun to work with and everyone was friendly. The hardest part of the job was the Holiday season was very busy and long hours. I can recall 2 times when someone did not come to work and i worked open to close. The most enjoyable part of the job was our customers and their commitment to out store. They were almost always happy and repeat costumers. – less

I was a Stein Mart employee for almost eight years. I was unjustly laid off in August of 2009. I was a full time employee. Since then, I have lost my apartment, my truck, all my insurance benefits. It is very hard for older workers like myself to find work. The managers lie to the employees. The managers play favorites. I was laid off, yet there are – more...  managers who broke policy everyday. These managers are still there! Do not work there. – less

If you are a student and need to make some money it is ok to work there temporary.

Helpful staff working together as a team to preform duties, worked with customers every day.
Learned to work in customer service, answering high volume phone calls, stocking products
Nice co workers, friendly
Hardest part of job was lifting heavy items when stocking, moving heavy items.
Most enjoyable was the overall experience, co workers, easy job.

I worked in the back, but I was able to see what was coming on the floor before hand. I was able to tell others how it looked or how it worked. I had a lot of fun working there.
