The Absolute Worst Company (and Cheapest) I have ever worked for. - Retail Store Manager Bealls Employee Review

Everything about this company is awful!! (And I am speaking as a manager) First, the working environment is awful (and hostile) at times. As a manager you have to pressure the sales people to get credit (every min of every day!), you need to be relentless, and dont forget to email you sales numbers and the number of credits (on an hourly basis to corp. or you will have evryone calling you). The regionals you are (well lets just say they are very nasty people) they come to you store and blasting you on everything they can (the T-shirts need to be folded perfectly cubed, the payroll is too high, there is not enough merch on the floor "flex flex flex". They send out threating emails saying "you will lose you job if this or that is not done immediately!! The sales associate are rude to the managers, customers and each other. The pay for management is the lowest in the industry after a year (you might get a $500 increase if you lucky). Managers have been there 3 & 4 years and they are making only a thousand or two then managers that just started. Sales associates love to complain about "everything" so as a manager you will get blamed for "everything" a lot of drama and "he said" "she said" goes on. Of course everyone is afraid of customer complaints and lawsuits so the customers (and salespeople) pretty much get whatever they want. The technology is so outdated it is a joke. There are literilly registers that have got scotch tape holding them together and they go down on a daily basis - you will be on the phone for an hour a day or more with IT. The customers will drive you crazy about the coupons, bealls bucks and anything else they can get for free. I don't know if they are a good company to work for back then but they certainly are not now!! Definately stay away - there are too many other places to work that are far better.
