What is typically worn or allowed to be worn at work at Hot Topic?

Free ability to be yourself. hair dye piercings are accepted along with basically no dress code.

Rude customers and when the store is empty.

Relaxed dress code, fun product line.

Company culture has changed since becoming a publicly traded company years ago.

- lovely atmosphere and staff - great if you love the products - huge discounts - fun themed dress up days - generally relaxed dress code for alternative people

- pay was not great

- doesnt really have a dress code - employee disocunt - coworkers are typically fun and friendly - its a prefectly fine for someone just entering the work force or if you need a second job for extra money. -if you dont care and have no asspiration for moving up in the company, its a perfectly fine job

- you will get no hrs as an associate - youre expected to do a lot for little compensation - wolf in sheeps clothing. This is a corporation that profits off of the alt comunity without actually being alt. Only stayed so long because I had a really good store manager. I left because of major gastlighting from higher ups. -after one of the best fiscal years for the company (in my district), they rewarded us by cutting our bonuses.

-employee discount -mall discount -no set uniform just a dress code -friendly customers and coworkers

-overly encouraged to spend money at the store -I felt that for a place that claimed to be inclusive they felt it very hard not to insist on putting me into a box and making me feel judged for not having similar views.

Basically no dress code, most customers are chill

Low pay, some years with no raise
