Current Employee – been working at Mills Fleet Farm part-time

Pros – Great people to work with, annual reviews, opportunity to grow

Cons – There was none at the time

Current Employee – been working at Mills Fleet Farm full-time for more than a year

Pros – The only pros is the people you work with. your co-wokers are great it's the management that is so so bad. They do not want you thoughts or ideas. I just dont get it. The store that I'am at has been open for 1 yr and has a turn over rate of 97%. Thats just not right. Not in my mind.

Cons – It's a very poorly ran company as far as I'm concern. They will lie to your face. tThey tell you that family comes first but fail to explain that it Fleet Farm family. Their managers are poorly trained in controlling situations they get anger at you instead of staying calm. They will not bavk you if you voice you thoughts of a bad manager. Here is example a manager was kicking boxes toward employes as she was yelling at them. one employee called corporate and complained so they reviewed the tapes and said they didn't see it that way. The employee as to see the tape but was told no. So management wrote that employee was written up for complaining about management. This place is good for one thing it shows you how you need to get a new job as soon as you start working here.

Advice to Senior Management – get it together and start caring about the people that work for you and give you thier all and all you do is poop on them!!!

Former Employee – worked at Mills Fleet Farm part-time for less than a year

Pros – Management was pleasant as were male employees I worked with. Was very fair when I had a work related injury.

Cons – Management did nothing when I complained about treatment from one of the cashier supervisors. Refused to abide by my availability. I was in college at the time and the scheduler kept scheduling me while I was in class and then I had to find someone to work for me during that time.

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to your employees and how about putting a tv in the break room. Or during the night stocking shift come out and give us a hand instead of watching the cams for 4 hours.

Former Employee – worked at Mills Fleet Farm

Pros – The store is fun from a merchandise standpoint and you get to interact with many different customers. Other than that?

Cons – Bad training. Poor management. An atmosphere of paranoia. The place has specific and rigid rules that are stifling and soul crushing. If you punch in five minutes early or go over your lunch period by two minutes, you get a sit down with the manager telling you about it. It is a good place to shop but a mindless place to work. The employees are like robots and there is no place to use your mind in a place like that. Terrible training and you are thrown to the wolves so to speak. If you have a question, you are treated like an inconvenience.

Advice to Senior Management – Try to lighten up a bit. I understand it's a mindless retail job that pays very little but you'd get further if you didn't act like we lived in Oceania.

Current Employee – been working at Mills Fleet Farm

Pros – Working with co-workers and (most) customers is fun. The job is fairly straight forward and engaging. Management is fairly flexible with schedules. A raise is available after one year.

Cons – Management is VERY strict about shoving promotions and scripts down the customer's throat. Starting pay is minimum wage. There are so many lines we have to say as cashiers that I hardly get to spend any actual quality time with the customer. There are a couple managers who seem to find it satisfying when people are afraid of them. There is little respect for employees. SO many rules! The cameras are obviously to watch the employees, not the customers.

Advice to Senior Management – Give us some freedom to make actual conversation with the customers. STOP making us ask for zip codes!!! STOP making us shove credit card promotions down their throats (and into their shopping bags). Let us use the quantity key. Don't mess with the employees who are doing you favors.

Current Employee – been working at Mills Fleet Farm

Pros – They pay their employees very well at fleet farm and they do a good job of scheduleing a lot of hours for their employees as well

Cons – It can be hard to get time off. If something comes up last second on a day that you work, such as a funeral, it is very hard to get that day off without taking a sick day or some other penalty

Advice to Senior Management – Get a little more invloved in the departments that you are managing so you can better understand the situation or process that we follow. Sometimes you will come in and try to change certain things that you may think makes it better, but are acctually not as productive as what we have already.
