Misguided attempt to join the thrift industry... - Store Manager Epic Thrift Employee Review

The work I did was very easy and the manager was nice . I was able to get experience even though I only worked there for a month.

Some downsides where how long you have to be standing and walking around the store cleaning up clothes people leave and hanging them up where they belong . Also some employees didn't do much work and they just spent time on their phones while others worked harder .

Corporate staff was very capable but restricted in performing the support necessary for retaining employees and fundraising partners due to a lack of investor funding. Store managers were highly qualified and resourceful. It was a pleasure dealing with them on a daily basis.

Lack necessary funding from investors to satisfy the basics from safety, pay and benefits perspective. Production and Operations staff were under extreme pressure to produce with limited to no resources. Lack of communication from corporate leadership to the stores led to a fear of failure culture. No funding to support a pay for performance culture or pay in a timely manner. Lacked the patience to see results.
