Yeah i refuse to spend my money in this store. They screwed me a few years ago. It was 2013 August i applied to work in the portrait studio i got the job which I was excited. They told us during training that we weren't seasonal help. So even after the holidays were over they were going to keep us.
Which yeah I liked it, but they hired some lazy people like Diane who didn't do anything, and took crappy photos while she was there. This isn't about her though this is about my experience.
Well around fall time i asked my boss if we were seasonal since during training they told us we weren't season help, and when i applied for the job it didnt say it was seasonal so that's false advertising right there i think they should of been more clear about that. Don't tell us during the summer that we aren't seasonal, and then when we ask tell us we are seasonal. They didn't pay well either for what we were expected to do such as well their dumb portrait packages granted we earned money off of them.
Well after Christmas i still continued to work at the portrait studio. I did a lot for them hell they were so busy 1 day that I just got home from work from working at the portrait studio that right when i walked in my house the phone rang. I wasn't even home for 20 minutes, and i got asked to come back in, and work another 8 hour shift.
When i went back after being beat from earlier no one thanked me for coming back to cover a call off which I should of said no I couldn't so i didn't have to go back. I went back because the boss begged me to come back.
When the busy season came to an end which was the middle of February i clocked in, and started working well not 30 minutes later my boss sends me home. She says we aren't busy today so i can just go. Which I wasn't happy since Diane was there, and she came after me so i should of stayed rather than getting sent home.
Well they call me later that day to tell me that I dont need to come in tomorrow. That they'd call me when i was working. Well 2 weeks go by, and i hear nothing. My mom said she wanted to go to the mall which I said I'd take her since i wanted to see what was going on with me working.
So we go to the portrait studio i see my boss is with a customer. I remember my password and user id, and i check the sechedule on the computer i see my name has been taken off completely that im no longer working there. Which I never received a letter thanking me. I also never received a phone call telling me.
When i talked to my boss she told me yeah I wasn't working there anymore. I told her that no one called to tell me that which is unprofessional. She told me that the company is sending letters out to everyone that worked there this season this week. Let's just say I never got a letter from them at all.
What they did was dirty and unprofessional if they didn't want me coming back they should have called me. I always see them hiring I haven't applied back there i dont need to waste my time on a dead end job. No way would i come back here to work. Let alone spend my hard earned money in their store.
This store will close just like Sears did its only a matter of time
