Attitudes for Days!
Cashier/Sales Associate/Stock (Former Employee) – Raleigh, NC – December 7, 2018
Working at this company included attitudes from the people in the front of the store (cashiers, SPS, fitting rooms), and the people in the back of the store (stock). There were times when managers praised people who did a good job, but there were also times when managers would get attitudes instead of acting professionally.
Pros
Discountsssss
Cons
Attitudes
DD's Discount
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – South Gate, CA – December 4, 2018
While working in DD's there was many things required and the work wouldn't stop. Furthermore, my hours were constantly cut on very short notices. However, managers were able to work with my school schedule.
Cons
Hours were always cut.
Poor management
Seasonal sales Associate (Former Employee) – Sacramento, CA – December 3, 2018
The management was VERY difficult to work with. Scheduling/time off was a hassle and a half, as well as a severe lack of direction and training. Opening managers were often late.
Pros
Security would wait outside with employees waiting for rides
Collaborative Work Environment
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Panama City, FL – November 27, 2018
Working as a sales clerk at DD's Discount proved to be a great experience for my first job. Working with a team that mutually enjoyed working with one another, and no competition among each other was great. When I first started I had some of the season workers who was glad to assist me with and questions that I may have had. For example, where to locate certain items or how to alert a manager when I see someone attempting to steal merchandises. As a matter of fact, many of my coworkers from DD's Discount I continue to have contact with them currently.
Pros
Collaborative coworkers, fun, five star customer service
change is needed
MOD/Area Supervisor (Former Employee) – San Jose, CA – November 26, 2018
My experience at Dds discounts started off very strongly and positively. However, it slowly became a hostile work environment. I was trained at the beginning and less than 2 weeks later was threatened with a write up and a pay demotion for not doing the online training fast enough. This company needs much more training to each and every staff member. This company also needs more reasonable financial compensation.
Pros
Was hired from outside the company
Cons
Much more needed hands on training
Very productive and busy place to work.
Associate (Former Employee) – Compton, CA – November 20, 2018
Very busy work place and i enjoyed it because i like being busy and dealing with customers. The management was very good at training their employees and keeping the workplace always safe.
Lifes grand
Retail Associate (Current Employee) – Sacramento, CA – November 19, 2018
Do you like your sanity if so dds may not be for you. High stress causes alot of life problems. Poor communication from management. Unorganized. They need to treat employees alot better.
productive fastpaced working space
Stock Associate (Former Employee) – Albuquerque, NM – November 18, 2018
In empowering the role as Stock room lead I learned leadership skills and how to manage others according to my jobs standards and still working in a fast moving environment.
I had to manage between 4 to 10 people at a time all while maintaining the flow of the work place, side by side with my crew, involved every step of the way, so that I could be hands on with them getting the job done effectively and as promptly as possible.
And being in retail or as in any job for that matter the hardest part would be keeping up in such a fast pace in such short time so it lacks communication because everyone is striving so hard to succeed at their daily task and it becomes very tedious. Not much time for fun but working in the stockroom has its benefits, and
I would have to say that would be the most enjoyable part of my job, the people that I managed and how well we worked together as a team and everyone having the same goal ultimately!

Front End/Area Supervisor (Former Employee) – Arvada, CO – November 12, 2018
At dd's, nothing was run with efficiency or consistency. All employees struggled to have hours as well as complete tasks given to them by management. Management was heartless. It's in your best interest to NOT apply to dd's.
work environment and supervisors were toxic
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Phoenix, AZ – November 11, 2018
horrible treatment. understaffed but overworked. bad pay. management was childish and manipulative. everything is timed and about "pay roll". not an inviting environment or company. constantly messy. training was lacking and different per person.

Last minute schedule changes

Decent Enough, but Poor for the Long Run
Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Grand Prairie, TX – October 28, 2018
The people are friendly and the work environment is nice. The problem is poor shift management, usually under staffed, always cutting shifts due to payroll - and without warning. Management is friendly enough and understanding with personal issues, but not a job I see myself staying at
Fun workplace

Very busy
