Toxic Feminism Wrapped in Fake Empathy

Senior manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Big fat salary package for doing about an hour’s worth of real work a day.

Cons

Toxic feminism disguised as empathy and inclusivity. Constant backstabbing, gossip, and passive aggression from women in power. Fake ‘care culture’ used to manipulate, undermine, and isolate anyone who doesn’t play along. Favorites are handpicked for leadership roles with zero proven competence or expertise – it’s all about who flatters whom. Soul-crushing work culture that leaves you dreading every meeting and questioning why you’re even there. Absolutely no room for honest feedback or dissent – if you speak up, you’re immediately sidelined and labelled ‘not a culture fit’.

Beware part time workers!!

Seasonal employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay was decent for part time work.

Cons

HR doesn’t care about your full-time job or family life. You’ll get hired for hours/days you asked for (part time) and then they will schedule you more. HR doesn’t care about your full-time job or family. He will hide and ignore you until they’re done with you! Seasonal workers beware!! They will over work you and affect your full time job and family!!

You are not HR, you are an assistant store manager

Executive team leader - human resources

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and Bonus Rollover PTO Good Leadership Experience (to then move on from) Good Resume Builder Strong Internship Program

Cons

(Strictly for those in HR) - 50+ hours expected each week - you work every other weekend - you work all holidays - you work 10+ hour shifts and are expected to work mids (I.e,. 9-7, 10-8) - strong corporate political environment - you will be asked to run the truck in the back, pack online orders, unload freight onto shelves, hop on a register… etc. if you are looking for an actual HR professional role, this one is not for you. If you’re looking for a retail management role with a slight hint of HR, this would be perfect for you. (Especially if planning on moving up as a Store Director)
