I don’t know how it is in other Burlington coat outlets but in mine the workload is insane! It’s physically demanding and time driven, which is a losing combination whichever way you look at it. We work our fingers to the bone. At best if we’re lucky we are staffed with bare minimum of people, but it’s still not enough to get the job done.
I can’t remember a time since being employed here that I wasn’t asked to work beyond my shift just to be able to complete certain expectations, but I have yet to receive a ‘thank you’ from any of my managers.
Honestly, we are treated like work horses - there to do a job and get ridiculed at every opportunity. If we complain, what meager hours we are given are taken away. Managers don’t seem to understand that it’s their employees who are the backbone of the store. Our managers depend on us, and yet they have no respect for the job we’re doing. That really needs to change, or they risk losing all of us.
