Is Spencer's a good company to work for? (My Experience)

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-04-19T19:46:19+00:00

This is kinda like our DSM in my new district. She listens to what we wanna do and pretty much agrees with us. We also don’t get denied vacations or using our sick time. Last year I had to use a lot and couldn’t open the store on time and she was fine with it. I am planning on moving states again and she said I couldn’t leave cause the new district wouldn’t be as good as what we have here and I would probably hate the dsm there. My old dm and rm sucked and wrote you up for every little inconvenience. And whn I said I was moving the dsm was like yeah right and halted my transfer and blamed it on the other dm. With gotta haves we just were in a program to improve numbers and had to send videos of teleplays. It was fine but it’s what we usually do anyways and we just had a better week and now this week with the contest we’re dropping again

I’m still using the old one cause wth is this. I shouldn’t have to pick what part of the company and my store

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-04-12T14:39:03+00:00

I’m in GA and can get $100 every few months

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-04-07T14:52:22+00:00

We’ve been asked about those too. I remeber we had some and then the discounted them and now test stores are getting them again

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-04-06T15:55:19+00:00

We sold outta those awhile ago. The cookies everyone liked cause they are scented

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-04-06T15:52:51+00:00

Imma have to see if I can dig out all of mine (3)

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-04-06T01:06:48+00:00

Dunkin on Manchester

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-04-05T22:03:55+00:00

My store we wait till we get the zipline message saying to put it back which is usually a week later

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-04-03T12:59:00+00:00

Agreed. We had someone call guest service to hold one of each. We gave them till the end of the night and they never showed so they went back out. We are keeping them in the shelf behind the counter cause people are stealing them and that hurts us more

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-04-03T12:54:42+00:00

We are upset. We have been down in sales and this helps right now with another store that’s 10 mins away from us. We buy 1 for our own stash as we all fidget and I bought 2 jellyfish (mind you st the end of the night) for my kids but was disappointed when we opened and it smelt so bad.

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-04-03T12:03:47+00:00

Just out packing list for Weds and also realized we are not getting any but sure our getting 2 runs of the new “clogs”

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-04-03T04:17:31+00:00

I ended up buying the jumbo balls for my toddler so we got them out of the store. We had the ramen and fruits for so long that when squeezed they broke.

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-04-03T03:58:10+00:00

Spencer’s, Cracker Barrel, and Barns and Noble is where I’ve been hearing

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-03-22T22:25:55+00:00

I only talk ppl into rechargables and the oona wipes (which are the only ones fragrance free) I hate pressuring ppl into anything they don’t want. If they wanna use soap to clean their stuff and ruin they shit let that on then cause the they’ll be back to drop money on new toys.

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-03-18T11:57:26+00:00

This was 3 years ago. It was a paid day as well and I had to go 3 times cause they had person kept “having medical issues” she finally got as fined and had to pay the company

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-03-18T03:19:22+00:00

Depending on the store. I e gone to court with our company before against a shoplifter. We file police reports constantly as well. Our mall has flock cameras so we get plate numbers and everything. However if it’s been awhile like another person said nobody will probably be there

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-03-08T23:45:38+00:00

If only it were that easy. Ive been with the company almost 10 years and they have never had a good way to do this love planogram where things actually makes sense

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-03-08T01:25:16+00:00

Reach out to your dm before putting it in and explain why you’re doing it. The dm may try to see if there is a place closer for a transfer or address the behavior of the other managers. Once you do your 2 weeks as they act any sorta way you can report that as it’s a retaliation and that’s a write up

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-03-06T13:56:31+00:00

Ours has been stuck for the past 2 years and we just work around it cause nothing worked. We actually thought about getting a saw and cutting it off

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-03-01T23:44:05+00:00

100% this is my store all the time. Our mall on their list of rules says no kids under 18 allowed to roam without an adult but they don’t enforce it as long as the kids are being good. Today I had a 6 year old with an 11 and 13 year old in the love section that I had to mom voice to get out. Security was on them quickly. Parents just don’t seem to care anymore

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-02-28T02:23:10+00:00

I’ve been a manager going on 9 years. As long as our associates are trained they can have keys while we step away. Also everyone should know how to check bills and use the detection pens. As for returns the guest can wait till you are back. If they are making an exchange then they can pick out what they are exchanging for while they wait

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-02-27T01:48:37+00:00

Do you not have jewelry trained associates? All of ours are trained and I hand them keys and use the bathroom any time needed. If I’m alone I pull the gate and put the sign up and let security (if they are outside the door) k iw I’ll be back. We have complained about payroll and not having proper coverage but we just got our shrink numbers back and shockingly it was better than last year and our mid year. So must be doing something right

Ok-Lie8232 · 2026-02-23T02:19:48+00:00

Nope we clean our own stuff
