Advice to Senior Management

back off being so pushy on the credit card, it is not all about credit in this economy you should appreciate they are spending their money on your clothes, managers need training on how to speak to people without insulting them, consistency on policy, hire correctly, promising 20-25 hours and getting 5-9 is crazy! this could be an amazing place to work but current management has created retail fashion hell, not only for employees but for the customers as well....

Pros

Good management and opportunities for growth

liason(s) and communication between DM and HR regarding issues

Pros

Great job. Enjoyed helping people. Earned recognition. Was fun. Management was good, room for advancement if people wanted it. Didn't want to leave

Cons

Hours, they are retail hours so it is what it is. nights and weekends, long holidays. Can't expect anything different.

Pros

NIce employee discount of 50% to use at certain times of the month. Days off were given as long as requested before time.

Cons

I wish I had given the company another chance, instead of jumping at an opportunity that later did not work for me. The company lost a ton of managers at one time and then was left with someone who had thought it was ok to say berating things.

Pros

Loft has a great environment between clients and employees and always puts employees safety first.

Cons

The Visuals and Floorsets change very frequently and they don't maximize the time they have during each floorset.
