Working at Shane Co. in Castleton, IN: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Castleton, IN Area

"It was an easy job with good pay, but no real fulfillment or advancement."

What do you like about working at Shane Co.?

"It was a fun sells environment, which provided an hourly wage. That is not common in sells. You could make a good bit more money here than at most jewelry companies in sells."

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

"Make sure you wear a full suit for dropping off resume or interviewing. The store manager is a good ole boy from southern Indiana. He came from Tractor Supply Company stores. He is not tough to impress, but he is going to use you for all he can. Show him in the interview that you can provide value for him whether it really helps the company or not and you are in."

What don't you like about working at Shane Co.?

"The Store Manager was poorly educated and had no idea how to lead a team or motivate them in any way. He does not want to promote good people out of his store to higher positions in the company, because he wants to keep them for what they can do for him. Also the company does not value their employees. Their mind set is if you pay them well, they will put up with it."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Learn how to motivate your team. Stop taking credit for things your team did with Home Office. It might gain you friends there in the short term, but it will not gain loyalty from your team and eventually you will lose employees and Home Office will realize it was not you anyway."
