    Awful experience

    Jun 4, 2021 - Supervisor in Century City, CA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Located inside flagship Bloomingdale’s in Century City.

    Cons

    Horrible upper management. Upper management shows favoritism towards associates that have been there the longest- doesn’t hear out the supervisor- makes management feel horrible/doesn’t hear them out. Extremely petty employees/upper management. Ran me out of a job because a former employee wanted my position as supervisor and tried to make my life a living hell. Racist. They’re all Mexican. I was ostracized as the only white girl on the team. Low pay. Over worked/under compensated. Horrible experience all around.
