Pros

I have no positive things to share.

Cons

I find it very interesting that after scrolling through many reviews, none of the negative reviews were commented on by ocean State and only the good reviews had a comment. That speaks VOLUMES about your “open door polity”

Thank you. I believe you meant policy? not polity? To be an engaged employer you need to answer all and OSJL does that. We would not be a Forbes Best Employer if it was not for the many associates who took the time to share our true story. It's unfortunate when people leave and sometimes it is because of a boss. That should not be an indictment on the company. Those that take the time to reach out to the Regional Managers and Director of Store Operations gove the company a chance to rectify situations before they become like yours. We wish you the best of luck.
