Great coworkers but poor management and scheduling issues

Customer Service Lead (Current Employee) - Crestview, FL - October 2, 2023

Overworked, only 1 cashier scheduled on Friday afternoons when store is busy but everyone else will be working the back room with no one on the sales floor and everyone is overworked and underpaid. Management will make snide comments and follow customers to their car to try to get positive surveys and some employees may not even be on the schedule for 3 weeks at a time or only scheduled 1-2 days a week. Expectations are not met for what you are told you would be scheduled, they don’t check availability and management does not take calls but are always on their phones and they say no one wants to work but will not schedule employees to work. If you call in for whatever reason they make you feel like they don’t care and forget about you.

Pros

15% discount and coworkers are great people

Cons

Underpaid only one 30 minute lunch during an 8 hour shift, overworked, poor management, no training

Not the best place to work.

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Port St. Lucie, FL - October 2, 2023

I was a flex worker who worked nights, ran go-backs, and I operated on register for backup. It was a basic retail job but the place was always a mess and it was understaffed because the store never receives enough hours. Sometimes they would also cut hours at last minute. It also gets overwhelming dealing with some of the terrible customers that come in to shop there. Most of my supervisors were good at doing their job for the most part. Store management sucked at listening to the employees’ issues. I felt overworked and underpaid working there. Other than that I did love the small team of great coworkers I got to meet and work with on my shifts. There were some bad coworkers too but I tend to distance myself from them because of their constant crass negativity and their rude attitude. It was ridiculous. I wouldn’t recommend working for this company unless you’re completely broke and you really have no other choice. You also have to closely make sure you get paid correctly because they tend to mess up their payroll a lot and you won’t get paid the accurate time you were working for or you will have to wait until the following week to get the next time in. Their pay is poor for the work I was expected to do, I only get on schedule for about 2-3 days a week even after requesting to management that I have more availability, there’s no benefits besides a 15 off discount, and I’ve gotten no opportunities for advancement during the amount of time I’ve been working there.

Pros

Discount, Coworkers

Cons

pay, no hours

Tedious and repetitive but productive workplace

Stocking Associate (Former Employee) - Killeen, TX - October 2, 2023

I only worked there part time for over the summer but the work was very tedious and demanding. If you like doing stuff over and over again then do this job. It keeps you moving and productive but fast paced.

Burlington is the worse job experience ever. Your payroll earnings are are never right Always messing your hours & money up & then you have to wait to the next paying cycle to get your money. The store is unorganized & you never receive any training. It’s a whole mess. I would never recommend anyone to go seek employment there.

It's ok, hours are sparse

Cashier/Customer Service/Sales Associate (Current Employee) - Broadway blvd, Tucson, AZ - October 1, 2023

I personally enjoy working here, it's not a bad place to be. Its interesting, there's some repetitive work but its decent work if you happen to not hate clothing retail. Schedule changes every night, which can be annoying. And hours can change a lot week by week, its absolutely not a stable job. Its just about never full time hours there ever, unless you're a manager.

Pros

Decent encouraging managers, nice breakroom

Cons

Really inconsistent hours

Hours were never stable

Retail Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Fordham, NY - October 1, 2023

Pay is weekly but had it downside with understaff and micromanagement. Hours varied week to week. , which will make paying rent difficult. You can not leave on your end time if you work closing shifts

Awful.

Cashier (Current Employee) - 7301 Castor Ave - September 27, 2023

Burlington is decent depending on the location but this location in specific is too demanding and requires you to do a lot of work for little pay. Also, you will MOST DEFINITELY get your hours cut if you're not on the managers good side.

Great

Floor Hand (Former Employee) - Michigan - September 27, 2023

It was a very good work environment. I got to work alone for the most part and I enjoyed that. Management was nice and understanding. If I planned on staying for a long time I think there would have definitely been room for career advancement.

Fun work place but stuck in management h*ll

Cashier (Former Employee) - Midwest City, OK - September 26, 2023

people were fun but how do you expect for someone to work if you don’t have any main management and the schedule is up in the air and supervisors expect you to know everything on your second day (first day of actual work)
