Sales Representative at VLN Partners
in Pittsburgh, PA

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Chaotic, unorganized, unstable and run by a dictatorship"

What do you like about working at VLN Partners?

"Coworkers and casual dress, pro is nice but hours are long on a weekly basis"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"There is a high likelihood that you will be laid off if you take a position here within the first year."

What don't you like about working at VLN Partners?

"Extremely toxic environment, small business run by a CEO that hires extremely talented people but based on knee jerk reactions pushes employees and clients away, he has a great idea but him alone will be the demise of the company. Managers have learned to follow suit in order to keep their jobs. Employees either quit or get fired and do not last for more than a year. There seems to be no business strategy and results with students seem to be unsuccessful and owner skews numbers for better results. I do not see much growth with this company and would not recommend leaving to take a chance on this start-up. If you have direct contact with the owner, no matter how well you do the job eventually he will find something irrational to terminate you for."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Honestly, I think it would be best if this company was bought out by a larger organization with better resources and knowledge on how to run a business in order to get it to the next level. Unfortunately, I do not think the CEO cares about the company or it employees and only about nurturing his ego."

But they kiss other people's a**. terrible environment full of racism prejudice. managers were also SO arrogant mean and rude only to non-blacks. If you were Hispanic or black you got the royal treatment. I've never met such rude people in my life. I almost quit several times due to their derogatory treatment."

Sales Representative at Nordstrom
in San Diego, CA

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"My experience with the company has overall been disappointing."

What do you like about working at Nordstrom?

"There are good opportunities for growth should you decide to pursue them."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Smile and talk a lot about serving the customer. They also love to hear that you would like to grow with the company."

What don't you like about working at Nordstrom?

"Having had a broad experience with this company and its return policy (Sales, Management) I would have to say that Nordstrom does not necessarily provide the ideal environment for commission based selling. They allow customers to walk all over their employees. Even if the customer screams and curses at you someone will come and apologize to them. The return policy is absolutely ridiculous; they will literally except ANYTHING and give cash back, regardless of the method of payment used at the time of purchase. A large percentage of what you sell will get returned, a lot of it being used merchandise that people are simply done using. Customers are aware of this and take advantage of it completely. That would be fine if it weren't for the fact that all of the commission you earned while taking the time to help these people is then taken back from you when they return it. The fact that they give cash back leads to a lot of fraudulent purchases (stolen credit cards, giftcards, etc.), sometimes amounting to thousands of dollars, which is also deducted from the employee's earnings when it gets returned for cash. I have seen employees spend a lot of time working through these transactions, only for the purchases to be returned for cash soon after. In this way, Nordstrom has befriended the criminals, becoming the bank for their thievery. Employees are extremely discouraged by the lack of support with this matter and because of this, it can be extremely difficult to make sales goals. Additionally, they make it very difficult to retain health benefits as you are required to work a certain amount of hours despite the fact that they do not always provide those hours. If you are lucky enough to receive enough hours, you'd better be sure to sell a lot or they will fire you without hesitation. I have known people who have worked for the company or ten+ years who have gotten fired for as little as one month of not meeting sales expectations. Managers are also extremely underpaid for the amount of expectations put on them. Because most of the department managers are on a fixed salary, the upper management takes full advantage and expects you to work well over a forty hour week. Forget about spending time with friends or family, and be prepared to work nights and weekends. Don't expect much compensation."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Be fair and treat ALL employees equally. Be sure to coach your teams to put in an equal amount of work and follow through. Be more supportive of your employees."

Sales Representative at Bed Bath & Beyond

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"I love most of my co-workers. Can't wait to find another job though!"

What do you like about working at Bed Bath & Beyond?

"I really love most of the people I work with and a good majority of the customers I interact with and help. They make work fun and bearable."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"They're going to tell you the latest you'll work is 11 PM. This is somewhat of a lie because sometimes you're stuck there until midnight or later, especially during the holidays. Beware of the kiss-ass mentality. I guess that goes for all jobs, but it seems really bad at BBB--especially when corporate rolls into the store. Also beware of managers who think they're a worthier human being than you are simply because they're retail managers and you're just a little part-timer. If you're going for part time, they may start you off at 20-24 hours a week, but that could all change depending on whether or not the higher ups are making enough money. I mean, that's what it comes down to, right? They need to keep making their millions cuz if they only made a couple hundred thousand a year, life would just be *unbearable*."

What don't you like about working at Bed Bath & Beyond?

"I hate the way managers think they're above you because they're managers at a big box store. The corporate idiots are even worse. They talk down to you like you're some kind of moron, when the only difference between me and them is that I was born intelligent and they had mom and dad buy them their education. There's no room for advancement unless you kowtow. The hours are terrible (what little hours I get). Since everyone's hours in my store have been cut, there aren't enough people on the floor to help customers. We (the employees) are unhappy about this and customers are even less happy about it. This company is supposed to be all about the customer service. It's their motto! But BBB isn't all about the customer service. They're all about their bottom line and that's *it*. The store is cold in the winter and *so* hot in the summer. Customers complain about how hot it gets in our store. But we can't do anything about it because the store temp is controlled by... yes, you guessed it: corporate headquarters. They're cheapskates. What company allows their employees to sweat terribly in the summer and freeze in the winter? I can't stand some of the customers. Rude people who practically have temper tantrums when we don't give in to their ridiculous requests. To be fair though, most customers I help are very nice. You literally *cannot* go to the bathroom without letting the manager on duty (MOD) know. They ask you to call it out just in case there's a fire or something, but really I've *never* worked somewhere where you couldn't go to the bathroom without telling a MOD first. I hate all the constantly changing, arbitrary rules. Not only are they always changing and totally arbitrary, but different managers tell you different things, so no one is ever on the same page about how things need to be done."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"You should support your staff and fight to get people more hours. They don't pay me enough money to live on. Like, I literally can't always afford to go food shopping. Bet the CEO and other higher ups don't have that problem! How is that acceptable? How do you live with yourself knowing some of your employees can't even afford to buy groceries? How is that okay?"
