Marshalls Reviews

Cons

Not much money for parttimers

Cons

Its in your best interest not to make this a primary source of income. There’s constant understaffing with hour cuts and minimal pay raises if any. The room to move up is almost nonexistent unless you plan on opening a brand new store and becoming a manager. They love to add the additional duties clause to your job description just to cover every other task that you WERENT hired for. Job location is important because some locations are nice and slow with inventory while others have no space and increasing inventory. Some locations are allowed to slack while other locations will criticize its employees for not working fast enough (ex. 1-2 employees working one trucks worth of pallets completing them in 16hrs-2days, compared to 4-5 employees working and requiring them to complete the incoming truck within 2hrs no breaks that management themselves scheduled can be taken. Dont let management tell you anything otherwise ive worked there 4 years and subbed in 3 locations. They ALL are a mess. I can compare it to my time at a competing department store doing the exact same thing we finished everything earlier and as a team. Ever wondered why burlington stores typically have only 3-4 employees for the entire store? thats because everything’s been finished by 9am and the employees dont have to stay doing mindless busy work. you might get a “good job” for all your hard work!

Cons

poor budgeting, absentee leadership, lack of consistency, virtually no training, worthless open door policy, promotions seem based on popularity over merit. Individual compensation for exceptional performance is basically raffle tickets for a chance to win the singular ten dollar gift card that they offer every month. Beyond that, you get nothing. Holiday bonuses are little if anything at all. Vacation hours don't exist for part-time associates, nd only exist for full-time if you maintain a 30 hour per week average, meaning flawless attendance. If you have to take a sick day, you basically lose benefits for the year, because it is extremely rare for them to schedule more than 30 hours a week.

Cons

nconsistent work schedules at times. Handling occasional challenging customer interactions. Limited benefits for part-timers. High turnover in entry-level positions. Inventory management challenges exist.

Cons

Only was given 3 hours per week even after asking to receive additional hours, pulled back when I had been given more, bad cultural diversity, work was not very fun (I was given boring tasks in our backroom), can't say working there had been fun, every hour they go on the intercom and try to get people to do a signup with their card, Spanish was commonly spoken which I don't speak, would only receive 10% discount, they denied time off for holiday, cart of snack is usually empty

Cons

customers were rude and just not fun to work with. the biggest problem i had with working for this company was the pushing for credit card sign ups.

Cons

Didn't have many bad experiences with marshalls as a company.

Cons

Stores get overrun with product easily, creating a stressful environment. Training protocols could use some work Anti-Union

Cons

Lower pay than other retailers (tried to start me out at $13-$14 but I negotiated) Long hours on your feet Store stays open longer than other retail stores even on Sundays (for this reason I think the CEO is just greedy and doesn't care about it's employees at all, would rather make a measly $100 extra rather than letting their employees enjoy time with their family) CRAPPY 10% employee discount (for this reason I still shop at other retailers more because even without a discount I get a better bang for my buck, most items are +$30 and we only get a 10% discount on an already low salary) They hound the cashiers about basically harassing the customer to sign up for a TJX card, want you to get 2-3 "no's" from the customer before they leave if they don't agree to sign up - for introverts and people who aren't sales savvy this is difficult and annoying. We are expected to go above and beyond for a company that pays and gives employees the absolute bare minimum in terms of work/life balance, salary, and discounts.

Cons

Sometimes they'd have you come in on days that you weren't originally scheduled for
