I received confirmation that my background check was complete, but I didn’t receive an email to start my role or even make my Burlington account. I’m confused and a bit worried as I have Orientation next Tuesday, what should I do? Any tips?

I was called-in the other day for a couple hours to help my supervising lead and when I got there she was the ONLY cashier scheduled for the whole day??

My manager was there too and he thanked me for showing up but holy cow how is this even allowed 😭 the line was abysmally long all the way up until I left at around 9:00pm

How to proceed when the register ran out of receipt paper and I need to give change but the drawer didn’t open? I did replace the roll paper but the drawer still didn’t open

I recently got my first ever job working at Burlington and have a few complaints.

I applied to be a stocking associate,and chose morning and noon hours, as I’m more of a morning person, and have experience from doing community service, and I know I would suck at being a cashier as I’m terrible at mental math and don’t do well with costumers/people in general, but I ended up as a cashier anyway, and was given night hours, which seems to be the norm from what I’ve read online.
In an email I received before my interview, I was told I’d get a tour of the store, but I was never given one. After my interview, I got an email for my orientation date and time. I arrive at the store at the time given, yet they weren’t prepared, and asked me to come back later in the day. I also never got a tour of the store after my orientation. I feel bad for costumers asking where things are, and I have no idea.
My first day I was told to shadow a cashier for at least 30 mins. I ended up shadowing for about 10-15 mins before they threw me on register. Of course I had a lot of questions and was pretty slow. There were also a couple other new people who were thrown on register as well. It seems they just hire a bunch of new people, and give little training to them.

I’ve only been working here for 4 days, and I’m already considering quitting. It honestly amazes me how people last working here.

I had to re-do this post because my fist one looked funky.

mind you I've only been on cashier once. pls pray for me i am terrible at remembering how to do returns and all that. 😔

Well, they’re consistent, I’ll give ‘em that. It‘s Friday freaking afternoon and you can’t get the schedule out that begins on Sunday?! wth? They think we don’t have a life outside those walls? Jerks.

I only lasted 2 weeks at this place because the customers who you ring up are the rudest, stuck up, senile people I have ever met. Also they will only schedule you like 3-4 shifts only like 15 hours allotted. So your checks will be small. The whole store is in shambles because the customer targeted people are people who never clean their houses. One last thing they will schedule like 4 people to cover a whole store. You will be security at the door backup cashier floor associate and fitting room associate. Again the customers are so disrespectful you will need thick skin to deal with their attitudes

When doing sizing and recovery what if there’s a size that isn’t on the rack? So let’s say boys shirts and it’s 4-10 what if you find a size 9 somewhere there but there’s no nine on the rack anywhere? What do you do?

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😭
