Pros

Fun people to work with, good discount on clothing

Cons

Where do I begin? The beginning of my work experience for this company started off great, I loved coming to work, and I loved the people i worked with. Shortly after a few months i slowly came to the realization as to just how corrupt this company truly is. They expect employees to work overtime during holiday hours just to change window displays, floor sets, and mark downs. All within the week of Christmas. For a Christmas company they sure do make their employees work a lot instead of getting time with their families. The company also claims to "give back" when really it is all a show to make people buy their overpriced clothing. Only one percent of only Alta'rd State brand items give back, so a $100 dress, one dollar goes back to the community from that… Not to mention how convent their mission mondays, which is where they donate 10% of net profit on mondays goes to a local charity, is on a monday..The slowest day of the week. This company needs a huge turn around if they want to succeed before everyone realizes just how corrupt they are.

Pros

Literally nothing, can’t think of one positive thing

Cons

I’ve been with the company for years and watching its continuous downfall has become almost comical. Two years ago we took major pay cuts (like 15%) because of the economy but this year they sent us to the Virgin Islands on this over the top meeting that must have cost a fortune. I’d rather have the money in my bank versus a trip I was forced to go on with senior leadership that are absolute horrific people in general and evil businesses people. It all felt like a big propaganda event with tons of videoing and picture taking so they could come home and post all over linked in and social media about how WONDERFUL it is to work there. Don’t even get me started on the new Little House on the Prairie denim dresses we have to wear because they hire managers that aren’t even strong enough to coach to a dress code. How can you run a store if you can’t even tell someone what they’re wearing inappropriate? Instead now we look like a bunch of little followers of the cult everyone already says it is. As long as we say we “stand out for good” at every opportunity it must mean it’s true right? To know who else brainwashed people into thinking bad things are good for them? CULT LEADERS.
