Pros
Good coworkers, people you work with on the floor are nice and generally helpful
Cons
- The con is management. That is the con of this place. These stores are extremely poorly managed, and owned by a guy who spends all day pacing around the isles on his phone like a maniac. (If he’s not doing that, he’s complaining about the one item on the shelf that is half a centimeter crooked, very helpful, thanks so much Matt.) - Do not expect a promotion if you are not white, able-bodied, and “mean-enough,” (management has explicitly held promotions back from loyal employees because, quote, “they’re too nice.”) - Know that if you call into work sick, the manager Poppy will be incredibly passive aggressive and childishly rude for the rest of the time you stay at Plum. - They will not give you a raise, no, it does not matter how good you are at your job, or how long you have been there. You will never move up from the pathetic starting rate they offer. Also, benefits are nonexistent. Matt Jonah could not care an ounce less about the people who keep his pocket’s lined. - You could literally DIE at this job and nothing will be said of it, the company will help with nothing and still charge you full price for funeral flowers. Watched it happen. - watched the manager Poppy listen to a mother complaining about the fact that there are no accessible brail signs on the bathrooms, as is legally required, for absolutely nothing to change in over 6 months. You can’t even provide basic accessibility? No surprise from a company with managers who will gossip about how “difficult” it is to work with the few disabled employees this place hires. - Just don’t work here, I know sometimes a job offer is something to immediately jump on, but this place is not worth the peace it will take from you. You will feel used and abused every day, and it wears so visibly on everyone still working there. Stay away, take literally any other job!
