the stores are about to go though a major refresh but the company won’t tell as anything about it. Does anyone have an idea what’s going on?

The other day I was on a call and someone mentioned the whole red circled thing but I don’t know what it means in regards to retail employees. They said it has to do with a pay freeze. Are employees getting their pay frozen.

It is not safe. If you say something about a union they spy on your social media and tell HR plus your local manager. This came directly from employee relations on NJ.

Rumor has it a VSP is coming in June. Keep your eye on your emails or never mind,false alarm

Mass exodus to T-Mobile and AT&T, employees looking for ways out, ridiculous expectations with no accountability for leadership, and zero common sense. Beware.

Assistant managers 70 to 100k. Store managers/ Sr managers make 80 to 120k a year depending upon time, title and location. Director/DMs make 140 to 200k a year depending upon time, title and location. Sr Directors 250k plus with LTI.

Was so excited to get my 3rd day off the holiday week, and then bo-m,sorry guys due to staffing we can’t give it to you. What a big FU to the front line, hope those surveys went well.
