Can someone please post to this board as soon as the next layoff occurs. THX!

Well this is what I heard from Finacial insistute, we are using factoring fiancial insistute to collect our money. Charlotte Russe is still factorable but if the order is too far out they won't. But at this point they are committing for immdiate... — read more 

I LOVE charlotte. it's the best company ever! people are sooooooooooooooo intelligent! THUMBS UP FOR THEIR STRATEGY! GO CHARLOTTE & for their CORSETS!

all i can say is - you talk shit but you all are still there working like dogs!

Vendor, my checks keep arriving later and later. That is not a good sign. My assumption is they are low on cash and sales are really bad. It's not a good sign that they are selling products at a lose, but I guess they need the cash badly.

The average store sold 12 pairs at 12.50 that's barely 150.00 additional dollars....per store, that impacted the business ? What monkey math are u doing? Is old navy on your resume cause that would explain allot .

the happy hour sale on saturday was a huge sucess. we sold more jeans than planned, and it cleared a lot of xtra inventory we had. at $12.50 we had negative margins on the jeans, but it made the sales number we needed to hit. we need to do more... — read more 

IS CHARLOTTE RUSSE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS???? I HEARD THERE BUSINESS ARE PICKING UP NOW.....

Does anyone think that Charlotte Russe eventually file bankruptcy??? Or does anyone believe that CR will turn around now.... After Jenny leaves???? I'm a vendor and I'm worried to produce for CR....

Although they're adding headcount to the lower levels of the merchant organization, in an effort to reduce overhead, they intend to eliminate headcount from the top and increase the scope of the remaining team.

"Its not a tumor, I am just really ugly"

There should be a party with random delights served on her last day. I am sure they are wishing now that they should have saved some of money for times like these.

Nobody has a clue what will happen once the new leaders take over CR. But I doubt they will agree with the concept of a SF building that has an empty 3rd and 4th floor, and a new building in Sorrento Valley that they can still break the lease on for... — read more 

It has to be a minimum of 90 days from the last layoff (bc of WARN), last one was 2/2/2011, so at the earliest 5/4/2011. Better comps for April are due to an Easter shift, and have nothing to do with CR's performance, its a product of change in... — read more 

Jenny posted on the company portal she predicts positive comps for April ? And she's leaving? Do u think San Francisco or San Diego office will close under new leadership? Who will be the new CEO be? Guess Kristin and the rest of the gap Inc dynasty... — read more 

I heard that Jenny will be out by 5/20 - apparently she was asked to leave a couple of weeks ago and is working on transitioning

Great news, does anyone know when?

Its coming.... rumor is the tumor is out.... down goes the Ming Dynasty!!!

The company doesn't value their employees.

The leadership team lacks ethics at Charlotte Russe.

Word on street is that the company is having another layoff in May. People are leaving because there is no future and the management just doesn't care.

In the past month more people have quit than were fired. Either way, people are making it known that senior management has destroyed the company. And who wants to work for a company on the verge of bankruptcy that gives you crap for a severance.

Charlotte Russe: Get out while you can! Going down fast!

I always thought Charlotte Russe should've had a mascot that was an old british woman like Mrs. Doubtfire that ran around the store and said "can I freshen your tea governor?"... that idea is better than anything our marketing department has done in... — read more 

Cr is a disaster, I have never worked for a company so poorly managed in my career, the leadership team should be fired, as they no management skills and no achievable goals.

Having left CR, I can now see how poorly run CR is. They is no planning or strategy, just execution with no game plan so the execution almost always fails. The lack of direction is an issue with senior management. They can not get aligned. Its... — read more 

Right before every mass layoff there has been a few people fired.

Guess that's what happens when you are late on all the bills from comping down so badly. Being late and having slow sales usually catches up to a company... "please advent, we need more money so we don't have to fire our overpaid under worked... — read more 

Heard there firing a few bad seeds this and next week... Fun times to be had by all.

Have you noticed that the people who left Charlotte Russe are doing much better in their careers than the people working at Charlotte Russe. The people working at Charlotte Russe have to worry about layoffs and bankruptcies on a daily basis. I feel... — read more 

When are the 50% of stores closing? And what about the may layoffs?

Worst company I have ever worked for! Do not even think about taking a job here, they will treat you like shit and then fire you. It happens at all levels, from entry level to VP. Its because the CEO (aforementioned Jenny Ming) and the Board have no... — read more 

I started with CR in April 2010, and I inherited a disaster. I can see why so many of employees from the previous team were fired. Its not jenny's fault this company is going bankrupt, its the people who came before her that were complete morons. We... — read more 

It's really sad to see such ugly things written about people. I've worked for CR for almost 5 years now and have seen many of their changes over these years. Not all of them good not all of them bad and not all of them just changed by Jenny Ming... — read more 

Thanks for the info. That's pretty much the way I had seen it. This company seems to be sinking fast.

Store manager, its not you, its the company. They are not saying everything going on because it will cause complete panic, 50% of the stores are closing soon. Even though they know which ones, you will not find out until 2 weeks prior. I would start... — read more 

Has anyone heard of store closing in the near future? I have worked for Charlotte for 6 months and have positive numbers on the quarter but have been informed I do not meet Charlotte russe high standards, seems crazy they would want to drive away... — read more 

Charlotte Russe = Fail Jenny Ming = Fail Jenny Ming's Old Navy retards = Fail Funny how the new strategy, the last grasp to try not to go bankrupt, is to go back to the old way. The old way, wouldn't that be the way the company was run prior to Jenny... — read more 

Its really strange that all this info slowly leaks down to the store level. I have been telling the peers since January when we were receiving light or no shipment for those first couple of weeks that something wasn't quite right and then we had that... — read more 

In reality, they just need to get rid of Jenny and all the people she brought with her. That is the start to fixing the problem. If you have Old Navy on your resume, you should be fired, ASAP.
