Working at Claire's in Houston, TX: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Houston, TX Area

"Claires was a decent job for a first one. My manager and I did not get along at all. If something was not done to her liking, instead of telling you she would gossip about you to others. It took me 75 days before I received my FIRST pay check, and that was only because I had the ability to call their hotline since I was a key holder. Sales Associates did not have this ability. I repeatedly asked to be transferred to another location which I met all qualifications for, and it was still in my district; I was refused it because my sales were "too good" and they didn't want to move my location. I honestly think they were just lazy. I requested a weekend off two months in advance. I was given them and then the week of, they were taken away because we had a CEO visit and my DM wanted me there. I had a coworker who was a sales associate for 2 years before, they moved her up to a key holder. Pretty ridiculous. Sales Associates make 8.25/hr. Key Holders only make 9/hr. Assistant Managers make 12/hr. I am unsure of the other positions."
