C. Wonder Reviews

Was constantly asked to do things out of my job description. Company referred to them as "stretch assignments." Never offered compensation for said assignment. I was doing a senior level job for 4 months, with no offer of a permanent position or even a conversation. I would have to ASK for compensation, and when given an offer that was a complete slap in the face, and when I asked about it, I got a "well its better than nothing" response. There was also a breech in our hiring portal where anyone with access to this site (store manager and above) could see EVERYONES information including social security number, salary and other personal information. When this was brought to light to HR, those who came forward got their hand slapped for trying to do the right thing. Corporate partners are rude and unprofessional to store staff. They act as though they are better than us and are inconsistent with their "visions". Basically there are 25 people telling you where to put a safety pin, but they all tell you do put it somewhere different. Corporate employees are treated far better than store employees. They do manicure Mondays at the office, have parties often and participate in "summer Fridays" where the whole office is closed by 12pm. Where at a store level, we were given a $0 budget to do any employee appreciation at holiday, and had a $50 budget to feed our entire staff (of 17 people) on Black Friday. If it weren't for us these people would not have jobs, however we were treated like we were lesser than.

Understaffed corporate office ; sixty- seventy hour work weeks are the expectation for every employee I worked with- and no thanks or appreciation ever shown. Work loads are unmanageable and regular mistakes made by unqualified senior level team members (merchants and PD especially) trickle down to create even MORE work for everyone else. Inexperienced senior execs given too much power. Lack of process, broken systems and an overwhelmed HR office make for a miserable experience with no outlet provided for relief. Total lack of respect- not just for employees but also for vendors, suppliers, manufacturers- and worse yet: customers. Cheapest possible product marked up as much as the market will bear.
