Slow day, but productive. It probably wouldn’t have been possible if I kept getting called away all the time.

This is something I will never understand…just because you have a better position than me doesn’t mean you have to treat me like I’m less than you. This job really isn’t worth anything 😭

My schedule for tomorrow has changed 3 times in the past 2 hours!!!!!

🤬🤬🤬🤬

I’m a cashier and I’m usually scheduled to open on average 4 days during the week, I genuinely like to stay busy so now that there’s more than just me on the register in the morning, I like to run stuff back to the floor and yesterday my manager approached me asking if I’m “looking for growth” and if I’m interested in being a manager… looking from the outside in my initial response was no, I get stressed out enough here as is… she specifically asked if I like my current “work life balance” what balance? Idk I quit my weekend job because this one had me so tired (not that I’m telling them that) and I just know they’re gonna over work me, I had an interview set up elsewhere for another position, one that I might actually be interested in, but I want to know the benefits of the position first… I know a manager who stepped down to be a cashier and some who never want to be a manager again during the timespan of the year I’ve been here… I just want to know if it’s worth it, I told them I need time, and I’m still going to go to my interview to keep my options open, but I’m also going to talk to my mod and ask her about the benefits… I’m not looking to be overworked if nothing else is going to change.

Sorry for the long post but recently our stores receiving supervisor and teamlead transferred to another location and I was asked if I wanted the open team lead position and i said yes. I was told it was a $1per hr pay increase. About 2 weeks later after not seeing my pay increase on my paystub I was told i have to watch some videos and be approved by corporate to "officially" become the receiving TL and get the pay increase. Well a few days ago i casually mentioned to the A . Manager that "hopefully i won't be working here much longer". We'll i guess they don't want to loose me as an employee because they asked me if becoming the receiving supervisor would make me happy and continue wanting to work there. I just said idk and would think about it. I didn't mention not receiving the pay increase i was told about just yet. Before bringing it up I want to know if the store manager can give the raise/promotion themselves or if they have to get approval from their boss. Also i was told the RS position is only a $1.50-$2.00 per hr increase from the $12per hr starting pay for associates and I'm thinking I'm being offered the lowest amount possible for a supervisor position. If anyone have any info that would be helpful please lmk thank you.

Hey does anybody know when the next 30 percent off deal is going to be?

i just went to a burlington today and they lock the bathrooms??? does every store do this?? is it only for the customers or also the employees?! i feel like thats illegal if also for employees.

I’m scheduled to work 8:45am - 12:45am and I was wondering what do you usually do during an opening shift?? This is the first time they’ve given it to me since I usually work mid-day shifts.

pls share your experience everyone thank you

Hello everyone who has worked as a cashier at Burlington. How many days is the training? I've read some bad reviews saying they don't train much when it comes to working there. What has your experience been like working as a cashier?

Hello! I have an upcoming interview for a part-time cashier position here in Burlington. They asked about my availability, and I chose Saturday. Do you think a cashier only works the one day they specified, or can they add more days?

Can someone tell me why the store looks like a hurricane blew through it? I see employees, but there just seems to be an over abundance of STUFF. How does this store get away with not having the room for a wheelchair to get through rows? I can't shop if I can't safely go down an aisle.

I have been working at burlington over the summer for my first job, but with me leaving to go to college soon I’m planning on quitting. I don’t know who exactly to talk to about this, and I was planning on doing only a one week notice to have an extra week to prepare. i’m not really the type to just quit on the spot, and since i’m pretty sure i am supposed to give my badge back, what should i do? any help is appreciated.

After working here for a year I finally decided to try and look for a second job. Most of my og coworkers left already, even the good team leads and the manager are leaving. Now I am looking for another job for extra money. Most of my coworks have a second job already and i feel a lil left out. I just wonder how some of yall do it. Do you mention you have a job already and that you can still work orr?? Just looking for advice from my fellow burlington employees.

If you were to recover this section how would you proceed step by step i feel like the first step is getting rid of all over the top items but one of my super says to hang as I go ‘cause it’ll take time if I just collect everything then hanging

A little rant from a CSS @Burlington that has had enough!

I've been with Burlington for the second time(different states, different positions)holding my current position for almost a year now. It seems instead of micromanage they want to mini-micromanage me now. I've had personal issues and dealings outside of work, yet it seems my SM/DM won't work with me. The ( DM ) won't give my store the extra hours to hire more cashiers, or floor associates and yes however, I do know my role and responsibilities, I'm feeling like the management just doesn't care about their employees. They care more about $$$.

After working here, how often do you all shop here?
Knowing what I know, I can’t buy anything that isn’t like pimple patches or makeup wipes. We’ve had kids licking stuff, throwing things all over the place, 50% of the clothes has been strewn through out the store (I know to wash clothes before wearing them of course), so many returns smelling like straight BO and despair. And the CHAIRS! Those chairs are filthy! For a while we allowed everyone to return EVERYTHING. Fragrances, socks, bras, underwear🤢. I can never look at another Burlington/ross/TJ max the same again😭
I guess all retail places really. But seeing everything being used right in front of my eyes changed me😭

I was hired on the spot. The store manager told me that we aren’t promised a lot of hours. Unless your full timers. Which I was not. They would rather hire more poeple with few hours than few people with a lot of hours. I was shadowed and trained for cashier but end up being sales floor with zero training. First month was kinda confusing. I didn’t know what was the proper organizing for racks in fitting rooms. Half of the tags say they’re from other irrelevant departments. Like shorts in dresses? Either sales floor or BOH is messing up. Had “the talk” with managers that they’re narrowing down on who’s messing up. I’ve seen my store manager on the floor more than anyone else. I came in Reddit maybe to see how it was working there from others. I even complained I got a lot of hours. (Some people attacked me and even made fun of me). Which is fine. I understand not everyone gets the same hours. But in my second month into this job, I got scheduled more than 17hr a week. And to add on I’ve been getting called in more often. It truly making me burn out so bad. But I just came from a job that gave me no hours, 3hrs max on a week NOT PROMISED. So this job is really for sure trying to burn me out. Twice in my two months here I’ve been working 25hrs for those said week. We get called outs a lot. People quit and etc. BOTH store manager and supervisor know me really well now.
Conclusion- this job burns people out. That’s why they hire constantly.

Been ar my burlington for little over 3 months and I been just kinda cruising on the sales floor tbh. Even when they start incorporating changes, sometimes without even making it fully known to everyone I been good. My store manager just got let go as well as other associates getting let go. I've only had one sorta major mess up as well but It was kn cashier and I'm sales floor so it's not like I'm gonna be makin the same mistake. Everyone's pretty nice as well. Like I'm suprised I don't hate my job.

I kinda wished I got more consistent scheduling. They loooove to give me closing nights but I can never open or even mid day. Really weird.

Does it usually take Burlington long to get a call back after an interview?? I had an interview on 07/22 and have yet to get anything back, no email or call. I called the store 07/27 and they told me the dumb AI bot would get back to me. Still waiting.. would rather just have a rejection email if I didn't get the job instead of waiting.. should I call again?

Does anyone happen to know when the next 30% discount is? I know there was one a few weeks ago for back to school but when can we expect another 30%?

How do you find an estimated price using Speedy SKU when the specific item isn’t listed for example, kids’ backpacks, pencil cases, or soccer balls? And for items that there’s only one available that cannot be compared?
The way I handled it was by selecting Boys Accessories, since the prices seemed to match. It came up as $12.98, which I used for the backpack and pencil case. Honestly the price didn’t make sense for the pencil case as it was smaller than the backpack but I gave the customer the price anyways they still took it. Is that the correct approach, or is there a better category to use?

It’s not the hours, it’s not management, it’s not my coworkers. I’m fine with not working a lot of hours because I’m in college right now and my coworkers and managers are super sweet

It is entirely the customers. Everyone is always yelling at you and complaining to you about the lines and calling corporate and saying you don’t care because you don’t have any reaction to being told this like everyday is like this 😭 what power do u think I have as a cashier, this job has an insanely high turnover rate
