Forever 21 reviews

At the same time, I also saw the negative effects of bad employee morale, bad management and do-nothing people in corporate. I was told that I was not good enough to be a manager. Despite the fact that the majority of management in this location regularly showed up late, left the training of employees to cashiers and sales associates (like myself), hired their friends, displayed poor communication to employees and showed rampant favoritism. I worked here while juggling a school schedule.

No onw trains you to do anything. On my first day my manager told me to go work in the men's section and that was it... she didn't tell me what to do or how to respond to people's questions. I had to ask my co-workers what to do and even then many of them had no idea cuz they weren't properly trained either. The store carries waaaay too many clothes and is always messy. Clothes are placed on random hangers instead of grouped into style or colour or price. Therefore when customers clme up and ask where a specific clothing is... no one knows because it's just placed randomly in the stores. Customers then get mad at the sales associates even though it's not our fault that we weren't properly trained. On top of that, the shifts are usually only 4 hours long. I only make $11.25/hr, and it costs me $16 to get to and back from work. Thete I'm only making $29 on and average day. my previous job my LOWEST paycheck was $200 for 2weeks work. At forever 21 my HIGHEST paycheck was $173 also for 2 weeks of work. And now that the holidays are over, my hours are about to get cut. A former employee already warned me but i didn't listen. But I'm definitely quitting as soon as I find a new job.
