Working at Party City in Gurnee, IL: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Gurnee, IL Area

"Where do I even begin?!this is my 3rd week working at this ***shit*** hole, and I’m already hating this place. The managers are irresponsible, negative and a joke. The store manager is always gone, I have two other managers that are disrespectful towards me and won’t give me the time of day. When they have an issue with me they won’t come to me because they’re pathetic and can’t be adults. Instead they are being high schoolers and talking ***shit*** behind my back. I had a scheduling issue this past weekend. I had a church conference. And I told THE STORE MANAGER! (Remind you he’s never at this party city). Anyways, I texted him saying I need a cover for my Saturday shift I can’t work it because I PAID money for this conference that was important to me. He said that would be okay. Two weeks later, I texted him and said I need to switch shifts. (Scheduling is chaotic and they expect you to always be at their begging call). He told me saying he’s tired of me making excuses why I can’t work!!!! Okay first of all.. I was not making an excuse and secondly I’m sorry that I NEEDED SOMEONE TO COVER ME! also, they were yet again talking ***shit*** behind my back. I had to hear from two co workers saying that I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHOSE NOT ALLOWED TO CALL IN OR SWITCH SHIFTS! That’s not only very poor management but that is in fact discrimination! Because they didn’t say other people can NOT switch shifts, because other co workers can. I am THE ONLY coworker who can’t! And I had to hear it from OTHER CO WORKERS! That’s bullshit. Management is a bunch of jokes and sad people. IF THEY HAD AN ISSUE WITH ME CALL OR TEXT ME! DO NOT go to other co workers and ***bitch*** about me. That’s unprofessional. Every day I go into work and get off of work my anxiety spikes and it’s worsening me. My managers won’t even give me the time of day. In fact I heard one of the managers whispering about me WHILE I WAS ON THE CLOCK! so unless if you want to have your mental illness spike work at party city! ??"
