Burlington Stores

Great workplace Great place to do overtime Great place to start your experience on customer service

Too much work for too pay..............................................................................

I love working there. I was who put the first box in Puerto Rico from the truck in Burlington Trujillo Alto. Was GREAT

For the first two weeks everything was fine but then after the first two weeks, I proceeded to work one whole year at the same exact location after about the three weeks mark and being scheduled for six hours shifts for continuously for three weeks I thought everything was fine but then after those three weeks they only started scheduling me to five hour and 30 minute shifts continuously and the reason why that’s important is because if your shifted if your schedule is less than six hours you get only 115 minute break but if you work for six whole hours you get a whole 30 minute paid break what they would do is they would schedule me for 5 1/2 hours only for 1/15 minute break and then just when I’m about to go home about 10 minutes my shift ends. They ask me to stay for three hours later just wasn’t one off. This happened almost every day I was scheduled Last meeting screwing around company policy and only allowing me 1:15 minute break which I believe I can sue for.

As an associate responsible for the Home section, it was diff to complete the entire section approximately plus assist as a cashier when called upon

They weren’t giving me much days/hours. I asked…actually I told them to please put me down Monday - fridays and they would give me like 1 day of the week or 3 days max to work and I’m like what type of job is this ??? I hate how everything was soooo messy, it was the most unorganized job ever!

I loved my location but others not so much. I feel like the higher ups didn't truly appreciate the employees that work in their stores

Managers have o lot of favortism, they only chose friends to promote, also they promote unexpected workers

The store was opening in Laredo. Was a very good experience. Was my first experience at retail store.

I started at the store actually a week before we even opened so I helped build it I worked there for over 3 years but ended up quitting when we got a new manager who promoted his friend to a management position when she had only a month experience and I had 3 years it was very disheartening from what I heard the manager was later fired for embezzlement

I enjoyed working under two managers but when the third manager came he was rude, yelled at employees, had a bad temper, and never listened to his employees. I enjoyed the work so I tried to hang in but eventually decided to it wasn't worth the money to be yelled at so I left and went to work for The Dollar Tree where I was treated 10 times better and was able to advance to a managers position.

Long hours for little pay best thing was you where able to see what was on sale first...............

i enjoyed the work , my co-workers were helpful and my boss was very nice . The pay was a little on the low side but that was before the mandatory min wage .

I love working there it was my own personal reason for leaving the job but I love it. I love the employee and the employers and the people where great and very kind.. customer was great too...

It was my first retail job and i enjoy everything i learned with people skills and as a leader i enjoyed training new employees

Corporate focused only on sales per square foot. Could care less if you jave only 12 pairs of pants in the entire Women's dept. And you are expected to still drive a sales increase. You can have a clean backroom with all the merchandise out, have the best inventory numbers, but still not be good enough. They simply do not listen: you cannot sell what you do not have. And you cannot order anything yourself: you just take what they send in. Having worked for the world's largest retailer for decades prior, the difference was deplorable. Egotistical. Went through 3 superiors in 3 years.

I worked for Burlington for 3yrs, left because I also worked full time and it just got to be too much.

I love the store for my personal reason and I’m like the people I work with but I don’t like how everyone gets pay. For example I been there for 3 years or maybe more since I started I haven’t had a raise. The only raise I had if of work . I do multitask and position of duties in the wear house and with the experience and my hard work and not many absent and no tardiness I still earn the same amount of money like the new employee. Burlington doesn’t value you on ur skills or work u put into there company. Sorry to say but it’s true.

It was typical retail work which I had done most of my life. They had a lot figured out. This was appealing. Opportunities that were described never materialized. Support for Store Management is very lacking. You are constantly looking over your shoulder due to employee help line that is just an avenue to settle scores. I decided to move on after ASM positions were eliminated every year I was there. Sure enough my position was eliminated about 2 months after leaving.

Didn't get scheduled enough so left the company to take a job a bit closer to home, more hours and a higher wage rate.

Working in Burlington was a bit of a challenge, since the pay was not the best and the work was a lot, I had to do more then I was required to do or I had to help others while I myslef required help.

Got to practice my Spanish, customers are great, diversity and family culture are amazing! Opportunities for advancement

I got along with almost all of the staff except one of the managers who seemed to have it out for me. I called out once because I got sick and he wrote me up for not coming in for my shift.

I want to thank my hiring manager for giving me the chance to work alongside her and her newly found team. During my interview, there were many others who were far better experienced than myself. However, I do not think that is what the hiring manager looked, rather she looked for potential. The potential to acquire professional growth, to bring results, to build a persons confidence in achieving things. During the time I had while working there, as a thank you, I worked hard and gave the effort to show that she was not wrong to have hired me for her store.

Low pay...not overly interesting work . The management seemed.more interested in keeping costs down.

I was a teenager fresh out of high school. Burlington did give me the tools to develop some work ethics. However, management did not consider their employees. It is a job for a teenager.

I worked here as my first job at 18, they forced me to miss my prom even though I asked for it off a month in advance. One manager told me I couldn’t have my graduation from high school off until I got someone to cover me. The made me work until 11:30pm on school nights leaving up past 2am doing homework, while also a student athlete. Wouldn’t really recommend unless you know how to set your boundaries because this company will take advantage of you at every turn.

Manager was constantly late did not care for her. She was late the first time we were supposed to meet. She changed the rules of how things were set up for merchandising.

Worked there for 6 months as a contractor helping their store, corporate, and warehouse employees with their technical issues. Was stuck on resolving account issues for ~4 months until management realized that nobody was giving me the training I should've been getting over those months. At the end of those 6 months my contract was cut short with no prior warning due to budgeting reasons. Aside from those issues though it was okay helpdesk job.

I dont wish to comment as the saying goes "loose lips sink ships". HR and Upper Management only care about moving their own agenda rather than help staff.
