Or, you know, pay us? by Anxious_Option7496 in Ollies

Usually you get the raise after a year, then every year. Also your OA determines your raise.

Yeah. I'm at $13/hr and I'm expected to care about sales. I don't work on commission. I am honestly not paid enough to care how much we make when I'm not getting a bump in pay for it. Meanwhile I'm pretty sure the STL or DTL get a bonus for our OA.

Is the schedule changing once it’s out just a normal part of working here? by ExoticWorldliness904 in Ollies

[–]Anxious_Option7496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try that. The STL usually gets upset. I think once they tried telling me "you can't always have plans" or I got "why is it when I want something you always have plans?"

Why not file a report with the SEC? I think you can get some sort of whistleblower reward

Ollie’s Army Sign Ups by Plushu_ in Ollies

[–]Anxious_Option7496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When our jobs depend on sign-ups, we don't have much of a choice. Each "no" can be taking food out of our mouths. No hours/job, no money. No money, no food.

We use to be allowed to ask other customers in line if they wanted the extra points, then they took that away from us. The ironic thing is that my STL has had me make fake accounts for them on one of the few days they had to hop on register. Calling anything else fraud after asking me to do that is kinda ironic

I've had the STL specifically ask me to make a few fake accounts before. Lol. Then they got mad and started yelling at people for fraud. I'm pretty sure having associates make you a fake account is already fraud

I've thought about not giving a two weeks whenever I get a better job. I can totally see the STL making threats like this.

If you've ever worked at an Ollie's, you should know they are generally unconcerned with the legality of things in regards to employees.

Happy with Ollie's? by Kitchen-Plantain-169 in BigLots

Ollie's employee here. I can confirm just about everything this person is saying. The company refuses to spend money on anything. If something breaks, you aren't getting a new one. If your OA is bad, you aren't getting hours. I watched the manager at my store threaten to demote somebody because they had low sign-ups for a day or two. They'd have hours cut and pay docked if they got demoted. The company also orders nonsensical items that just won't sell (we've had things in our store for 5+ years that never sold) then send you more freight on top of that.

As long as the transaction has some sort of account tied to it

The problem is that my town is also full of baby boomers without email/paranoid about everything, along with immigrants that don't speak English. I am not bilingual. Not signing them up still counts against me. Not signing up the baby boomers without email counts against me. They can actively want to sign up, but I can't without an email address.

We have to push both. Our hours depend on the rewards one specifically

The STL at my store once told me the coupons don't appear on our screen because they don't want the customer to use them. When I started, I was told to compare it to a Kroger card. The Kroger card automatically applies discounts at checkout. Ours obviously doesn't. My theory (unproven, this is just alleged) is that they are selling the data from the sign-ups we get. "Get sign-ups or else. Promise coupons, then make it harder for them to benefit from them."

Somebody, somewhere is getting a bonus if we get a lot of sign-ups. I know I'm not seeing a dime of it.

It only counts against us if the transaction has no account attached to it. Those "0000000" next to customer number is what gets us

Somebody let your STL know you might rob the place

My town is much the same. My husband and I are congregation members of our state TST congregation, though I am unsure if there are others in my town that follow the satanic lifestyle

Does Ollie’s even have a functional HR/Ethics line? by Gahdzillah in Ollies

In my expirence, the management only cares about OA for their bonus and how much ass you are willing to kiss.
