The Paper Store Reviews

- Illegal break policy (employees are not allotted the appropriate rest/meal breaks based on hours worked) - Scheduling expectations (schedules change last minute) - Work/life balance (beware, salaried managers are expected to work a minimum of 45 hours, sometimes up to 6 days a week at 54 hours without additional compensation.) - Lack of structure (many procedures are still being constructed) - High turnover at all levels (it is not uncommon for individuals from sales associates to district managers to be terminated without notice) - Retaliation (HR is a double edged sword. Corporate representatives take political action against associates who file complaints, most who do shortly disappear after a paper trail of corrective actions materializes.) - Culture (hostile work environment where some employees are used as informants and are asked to collect and report negative information about others.)

If you are not on the manager's favorite list, you are in for continual criticism and nasty verbal swipes. It's never enough for her. Hingham is the "flagship" of the company, yet she berates and demoralizes the staff, even long-time employees and department managers. Constant negative feedback from management is bringing morale at the store down, down, down.
