Pluspunten

Good pay, great team, great charity program

Minpunten

I've worked for LC for almost four years now. I dropped down.. actually let me rephrase that.. I was forced to drop down to casual part time after being a full time employee for 3+ years. I started out as a Retail Manager, and ended up having to pull GM duties for months because our GM left to help another store in need. About a year after my hire, the RM position was eliminated. I was offered to stay at a lower hourly pay as a full time sales associate, or take a severance package and leave. I decided to stay, and try and work my way back up the ladder. My hours got cut severely a few months later. I was full time, working a maximum of 12-16 hours a week, for months. Another problem I have with the company is the fact that our manager would never release the schedule in a timely fashion. Our weeks run from Sunday to Saturday.. and we would get our schedules released the Friday night before the new week started.. (IF we were lucky).. sometimes we would get it on Saturday. That leaves us with ABSOLUTELY no option to plan any family time. Policies and procedures go out the door all the time, and it gets blamed on the upper level management constantly. Training was non-existent. If you got hired, you watched a few hours of videos, and then you were thrown to the wolves.

Pluspunten

when I first started it was a very employee based company. Great discounts, great benefits. Regional managers were swift to help if we had questions and offer support

Minpunten

Since last year the environment has changed vastly. They no longer care about the employees and only want results. They have raised prices and insurances dont cover as well as they used to and they expect the managers to just force people to buy. If you dont make your monthly goals youre put on a PIP and the Regionals are constantly threatening you to make them. The work life balance does not exist. There is a group chat with your fellow store managers hosted by the Regional and if its your day off they still expect a response. I know it comes from the top down but the micromanaging has gotten so awful. Down to the minute you must be scheduled correctly. I have been here for 3 years and have never had a positive review even though our store has exceeded its goals. Doesnt matter to them, they expect more and more. They raise goals constantly and the only answer they have for making sure we hit those goals is no one leaves, even though they can get the same product from a competitor at a much lower cost.
