Pros

an excellent employee discount is pretty much the only pro ... it is certainly an interesting place to work, you'll never work anywhere else like it.

Cons

where do I even begin?? since the stores are all open 24/hrs, there are no holidays off and no "time and a half" holiday pay. Employees don't get to consistently have 2 days off either! One day is off, the other is an "on call" day. Meaning, at any point in that 24 hr period, you could be called into work. They pay $17.25/hr to deal with a hell of a lot of sanitation, some very creepy/dangerous people and insane amounts of work-place drama. With no other benefits what so ever. Last/least of all but still worth mentioning -- the excellent employee discount tricks you into spending more than you probably should.

We offer a higher than average hourly rate for our market cities, in addition to quarterly bonuses on sales via our SPIFF program - with motivated staff earning in excess of an additional $1/hour when analyzed. We also offer 80 hours of paid vacation annually, paid dental, discount vision, a health-cost sharing program and a host of insurance options available through the AFLAC program. Associates are empowered to enforce our Zero-Tolerance harassment policy and assure the store's safety overall by immediately requesting inappropriate visitors leave the stores - with full support of management. Retail in general holds additional sanitation needs and are not isolated to our business or industry. We assure that our stores are always clean, well-lit, and safe environments for staff and customers alike. Our goals are always to make sure our staff has the needed tools and management support to allow for a productive and safe working environment. We offer guidance to staff on avoiding the pitfalls of workplace drama and take seriously any reports by staff of issues that need addressed or attention. We provide for daily communication from all staff, all shifts, to make management aware of questions, concerns or issues relating to store operations/safety and then address those and take immediate action when needed. We strive to provide good schedules of a minimum of 40 hours per week that also meets the needs of our 24/7 store operations. Very few retail companies provide for holidays closures. Like many retail companies - staffing is a constant process and when staff have emergencies that arise we utilize an on-call staff member to cover those shifts, while striving to make sure that all staff are afforded days off weekly. We are very proud of our employee discount program and can assure you that there are no "tricks" involved, only a great discount and great products! We also have an in-place monthly spending limit for staff discounts, with reminders to staff who might exceed those, which would not be done if there were any "tricks" being attempted. At Dreamers & Le Rouge Boutique we hire only adults who we trust to have good life skills for both their personal decisions, as well as making good decisions that benefit their employment and protect they company. Expectations of employment are reviewed and stressed to staff, not only during their interview prior to accepting the position, but also communicated regularly on our internal communications logs. Staff who are wanting an opportunity to express concerns regarding their work environment are encouraged from day 1 to utilize our open door policy and reach out to managers for guidance and assistance. We are sorry to hear that your experience led you to have the above feelings about our company and we wish you the best for your future. If you have anything additional that you would like to share or have addressed, please reach out and let a manager know.

Pros

the discount even though it was budgeted

Cons

Hours are all over the place. They have one of your days off on call (and often youll get called in for the exact opposite schedule) They fail to inform you of important imformation (like where the panic button is) the management (Except 2 ) wont tell you that you would still get paid your alloted hours after something life threatening happens the owner is also hr the owner will purposely attack your character because he can't hear any critics against himself, the owner will scream at your the day after a life threatening situation happens turnover is audaciously high i think i did the math and it was around 5:1
