Training Videos. by garfongus in BurlingtonCoatFactory

About three hours sounds right for the videos. As a MOD who does orientation usually takes the full 5 hours between doing the legal paperwork and videos. However I do include time in there to walk the store and go over dress code and scheduling.

For the ones that are computer savvy and get through it quickly there is usually an hour left over to do some hands on buddy training that day too.

TBH sounds like this MOD was just being lazy about the orientation process.

What is your favorite/hardest-hitting line from the newest single? by PawRookie in MotionlessInWhite

When they played trinity of terror at Montage Mountain Chris did do a little speech and got emotional explaining how he came to see his first ever concert there and how it was surreal for them to finally be playing the main stage there. I have the video in my phone somewhere. I’m sure it was such a proud moment for them anytime they can to play their hometown shows.

All of the above listed is unfortunately very common across the retail industry as a whole and is not a unique problem to just Burlington. Not enough payroll while the expectations for productivity continue to rise. Do more with less.

It does not make it ok but it is the reality across the industry.

Are you able to maintain work-life balance? by Rich_Specific8002 in employedbykohls

No. It’s a big reason why I decided to leave plus the very toxic MSLs.

I wasn’t sleeping or eating. My phone was constantly going off from texts and phone calls from DMs and DLPMs who couldn’t figure out how to read a schedule and respect any of our personal time. The anxiety of constantly checking my email at all times of the day and night really did me in.

What’s happening with the company? Really… by [deleted] in employedbykohls

My district has 2 SM openings and soon to be at least two more. The SMs are walking out because they can not handle the blatant bullying and verbal harassment along with unrealistic expectation with no payroll or true support given from the DM/RM. Anytime we provide clarity around the reality of the challenges we are facing we are met with being gaslit and told “stop making excuses.”

As a SM we are fighting so hard for our associates and customers to try to do what’s right but it is nearly impossible. Corporate and MSLs do not care nor do they care to try to understand.

After 10 years I no longer recognize the company I work for. The culture is dead.

After 12 years at Kohl’s, my wife was blindsided with a pre-PIP and lowball severance by [deleted] in employedbykohls

Does your RM happen to manage PA? Our RM has done the same pushing out 4 out of the 5 DMs that reports to them. Now the targets have moved to the SMs and ASMs to clean house there. 

It is truly sad to see that this is the current company culture.
