Worst Retail Jobs In America

work an 80 hour pay cycle for Targets 4am flow team, when you are mentally and physically exhausted and get that 550 dollar check for two weeks get back at me. What a terrible corporation with an excellent PR department.

I also can't forget the pathetic 10% discount employees get!

I'm so glad Forever21 was on here, I mean really! I just put my two weeks in here after working here for about 4 months. ( It's just that crazy) I didn't want to seem like an ungrateful person for leaving a job, but this place is hectic and completely unorganized and yet they expect nothing but the best and at a very fast pace. Plus the whole "fashion" thing is too much for me to even care about, some of us have expenses we have to spend our pathetic paychecks on, rather than on trendy looking clothes. Closing shift is horrific, and breaks are rare, this company has a lot to learn about how their employees work if they ever want to grow stronger.

WORST JOB??? Try Spirit Halloween, 1 level above slave wages and work. They will cut your hrs midweek on you if the sales are not up to par. While they make 75% markup on all this junk from China. The DMs are buffons and the managers are either drunks or people who couldn't get a real job....they ALWAYS mess up your check and tell you they will fix it,,,but God forbid you call out one day, they threaten you till no end. No benefits and they make sure that you don't qaulify for unemployment because they cut you off from work about 2 weeks too soon to collect. they are the gypsy's of retail and open stores without proper pernits and or inspections.They will have inspections set up for a tuesday and knowing that the inspectors don't work on weekends, they will open up to make a few dollars and close again on Monday. The big director who looks like a hairy monkey is banging the help and everyone knows it...loser has kids too...... for shame F.P. for shame!!!! This mickey mouse operation blows sunshine up everyone's butt and teases them that if they do good they could stay on year long with the parent company Spencer Gifts....they run that game every year and on everyone form the dms down....since everyone is temporary there....

You want to know the worse place to work - one of those photo studios that you see in the malls - or discount stores like Walmart and Kmart - they pay minimum wage - will only give you part time hours (anything less than 35 hours is part time according to human resources - then they expect you to book appointments every 10 minutes - do not have customer complaints, accept walk-ins - hand out photos and make resales - call and confirm appts - pull in floor sittings - fix equipmnt - climb ladders - deal with screaming childrn most of the time, and keep a smile to deal with the midgets.

Hey, where is the trickle down effect to the workers? Is this what Romeny is about?

its a shame here in america

What the hell are these employees eating and how many roommates do they have?

...geez, this is my big old fart chance to submit that i remember my very first 'raise' in pay was a NICKEL that proudly brought me to $1.55 an hour. i paid off a new car on that wage whilst going to college.

I worked at Ross Dress For Less for about a month and a half. The first week I worked three days from 8am-12 noon. I figured they were going to let me get used to working as I had not worked a paying job in my life before that. Then the second week, my hours were less than 50% of what I had the first week ( I had 5 hours total).

After that I did not work again for nearly a month. I inquired about it, but they said well, we have no hours for you. Then I got 7am-11am for two days and that was it. I then got a call for an interview of the current job I now have.

After I found out I had the job, I handed the manager at my Ross Dress For Less the resignation letter I typed earlier that day and left. He was not happy that I quit, but I do not regret my decision at all. They deserved what they got from me, I was supposed to work part time which meant about 30 hours a week give or take.

I was hired as holiday help at my current job, but they kept me on after Christmas 2006. I was intermittent, which meant I worked about 20 hours a week, unless they needed me more than that which was not often. Now I am part time and work 34 hours every week. I love it because I also work 5 days a week for that 34 hours.
