BOH

3 Upvotes

I am a BOH associate & my schedule changes day by day. I was scheduled for yesterday and looked in the morning & it was gone. They do this every week. Sometimes randomly put u on the schedule the night before. Genuinely how is this allowed? Shouldnt we have our schedule 2 weeks out. This just doesnt seem fair? Also i just started and the BOH manager is so aggressive and yells/cusses constantly yelling at us to hurry up. Like is every burlington like this? Im about to quit

BOH Part Time Associate help

3 Upvotes

I got hired 2 weeks ago and they havent scheduled me for my first day yet. I remember them telling me to wait for the schedules to pop up and Im afraid if i picked up any shifts on the app without my first day training then it'll mess up any work flow they have. Am I supposed to schedule my first day on an open shift or just wait? The BOH manager gave a very strict first impression and I didnt want to pick up shifts that Im not ready for

Seasonal Part Time Advice?

2 Upvotes

Hi all!!! As the title states, I'm going for orientation for Burlington as a seasonal part time/cashier. Although, the manager did say she's going to cross train me so I'm definitely going to be working the floor. I've never done any cashier sorta work and the manager seemed to be in a rush to get me out of there. (She was kind but the interview felt rushed imo.)

Anyways, I'm nervous asffff and I'd like some advice. No, I don't know my hours yet and the store really isn't that big but I'm kinda psyching myself out.

Any advice is welcome!!!šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«šŸ˜µā€šŸ’« Like any. Dress code, hair, how to chat with costumers, anything.

Thank for reading and have a nice day šŸ˜™šŸ˜™šŸ˜™

Urgent question

4 Upvotes

Why do they keep doing this? I’ve told multiple managers time and time again that I’m not available and gave the time frame. before each day they text me to confirm if I’m available and each time I say no.. I wasn’t scheduled before hand or anything… they don’t put me on the schedule in the group chat but yet hours later I get a notification from the shift app that I’m added to the schedule.. each damn time and then when I don’t clock in obviously.. my attendance points go up.. like what??? It’s unbelievable..

Today is the first day i’ve moved to the new app, but it says i’m overdue even though I clocked in and out for the day. It also says the correct times on my timecard, but i’m slightly worried that it didn’t count so i’m wondering if this happens to everyone

Pay cut? Hours cut?

2 Upvotes

I worked a total of 14 hours this week, 4 Friday, 5 Sunday, and 5 on Monday. Yet I just got paid 66.13 and it shows me I work for a total of 4 hours šŸ˜’. My last few pays have been up to $100-200. Are they just cutting the hours I’ve worked to pay me less or am I missing something (or stupid)?

how to quit

10 Upvotes

I plan to quit at the end of this month. I was wondering do I have to submit a 2 week resignation letter so that way I can work until the end of this month or do I just quit at the end of the month and never come again. (a bit silly but I was told from a friend a 2 week would be better so I can get money until the end of this month) but I also feel like if I turn in a letter they won't schedule me as much (even though they don't as often and only 1 or 2 days of the week)

Quick question for fellow cashiers

2 Upvotes

Say a customer comes in to return 9 items. Their receipt shows 10 items because one item was scanned twice. They claim the original cashier made a mistake, double-scanned the tag, and they only ever received 9 items.
But what’s stopping them from just buying two of the same item, keeping one at home, and bringing back 9 while blaming the cashier for a double scan to get a free refund?
How does your store actually verify the truth on these claims?

Can't accept give away shift

I am trying to pick up a shift however every time I try to accept it it says added successfully but then I get a notification saying it has been reassigned and it isnt added to my schedule. Is it because I have the old app or something?

I feel like I can't get better

6 Upvotes

I was told I'm supposed to fill a 2 bar rack in 45 minute and have it on the floor before 15 minutes.

Why does this time feel impossible to me? I tried to do it just like the other girls. They don't pack the racks tightly and the hangers are slightly loose from one another. But when I did that, my supervisor told me to go back and "make it fuller".

Now I'm packing those two bars with as much clothes as possible, but it's taking me nearly two hours for a very packed, heavy af, full rack.

It just feels a bit unfair... And not only that, but it's takes me a full 20 minutes to put all the clothes away, especially when I'm not familiar with where everything goes.

Now I have another woman across me help me out with the timing and how to organize the racks. So I managed to reduce the time from 20 to 16, but it's not enough. She doesn't HAVE to help me either, she chose to sacrificed her own time to help me take my rack to the floor. I appreciate her so much.

Which leads me to say that Burlington is very bad at training their employees.. that my own coworker is doing it out of her own free will. They don't tell you where anything is, how to properly read tags, the basic stuff, etc. Mind you, this is my first time doing retail.

Today my manager took me aside and asked me how long should I take filling the racks? How long should the floor be? How long I've worked there? How long did my willing coworker train me? I answered them all. She said the new girl today was already doing better than me. And to add, my manager said that everyone could've gone home earlier if it weren't for me.

I can't help but cry a bit because I'm truly trying the best I could. Even when I actually try, I can't seem to do it. I just don't understand how the others are able to do it. I don't understand how the new girl is already doing better than me.

For the first time, I think me trying my hardest means nothing.

It doesn't help when no one there is bothering to remember how to properly pronounce my name, and keep calling me debri, which literally means trash. I stopped correcting, and I feel foolish responding when they call me that.

I feel like I'd be extremely embarrassed and cry if I get fired for not being able to do what seems so obviously easy to everyone else. So I want to quit first before they could, but then I'd feel extra embarrassed for being unemployed living with many others.

I don't know what to do! I just feel so useless and like a moocher! I just don't want to show up tomorrow or anywhere else at all, I want to hide my face.

burlington sucks

11 Upvotes

our new boh schedule is working 3 hour shifts… thought hours would pick up for holidays but nope, so instead of our 12 hours being split into 4hr shifts for 3 days it’s now 3hr shifts for 4 days. this is insane.. mind u we still haven’t even gone to the 4 days yet, going in for 3 hours doesn’t make it worth it at all. 3 hrs is not even 40$ of pay where i’m at, so tired of my paychecks not even being close to 200$ because there’s no hours…

just needed something on my resume after being out of a job for a while but omg this place sucks, not to mention i worked the linens table by myself for almost a year straight with no help because my boss thought i could handle it, being at the end of the line having to cut down the boxes, take everything out of the boxes, not to mention how annoying taking out the boxes inside of a box inside of another box, all while have to throw stuff back onto the table that’s in front of me on the line because they’re letting a lot of stuff pass that isn’t linens all while there’s already barely any space on the table, all while trying to keep the line clear so i don’t back up the line, having to overpack the carts because we have no extra carts to use, having to swap out all my own stuff while everyone else is getting their stuff replaced by our supervisor, doing all this with no ac or fan up until recently. what also pissed me off so much is my supervisor would move around everyone else to help out the other tables except mine and when i did get help they’d be there for 5 minutes (table not even halfway clear) and then my supervisor would move them again

like omg.. and don’t get me started on the supervisor talking shit about literally everyone, i think im their target as of recently and its really making me want to quit. as much as i dont like this job anymore, im a hard worker i dont slack off i put my all into everything i do there and to hear from my coworkers that our supervisor is talking badly about me is insane, especially when we have a ā€œfamilyā€ dynamic between our boh crew, i don’t know for our supervisor to talk shit and then come around and laugh it up and chat it up with you is messed up.

oh plus the waking up for work and seeing our schedule being changed like 5 minutes ago, mind you waking up an hour before work because i live close, or walking into work and hearing expect to stay longer, i hate coming in when i planned out how much sleep im gonna get the night before, i hate coming in and having the rest of my day changed all because they can’t stick to a set schedule and then the rest of the shift being like we’re actually gonna leave at this time no wait at this time actually no we’re gonna leave at the original time. i’ve never seen a retail store ran so badly, why is burlington like this.

genuinely the only reason ive stayed so long is cause i have the sweetest coworkers but i definitely don’t think its worth staying over anymore

Has anyone else noticed a bunch of open cashier shifts being posted recently?

I’ve noticed a wave of open cashier shifts popping up lately. Is it because the holiday season is approaching, or is something else going on?

Will I get fired if I let my manager I have a 2nd job

4 Upvotes

Hello, I’ve worked at Burlington since Aug, but I decided to start job hunting because I hardly got any shifts in September and only worked twice a month. Usually the scheduling on the app was confusing where it said I work the next week and then the next day it showed ā€œno shiftā€. Which is why I decided to apply for a new job where I’m able to have shifts but found out it was seasonal which is fine. I would like to continue working at Burlington in case I don't stay permanent after the seasonal but I'm afraid to let the manager know I can work 3x a week during the weekdays due to college and other job that requires me to work on weekends. Just afraid I'll get fired

Extremely Anxious

8 Upvotes

I had two interviews and my orientation for BOH, I was told I’ll be cross trained in cashiering as well. What does it take to be fired? Idk I’m just so anxious that if I’m too slow mentally and physically they’ll fire me, I promise I can follow directions and am very friendly, I just need time to catch up you know? So, I guess my overall question is what does it take for them to let me go (I’m seasonal too if that matters)?


r/BurlingtonCoatFactory • • 4d ago

Its the Company

14 Upvotes

Got hired some months back and just made RS over BOH. The pay is better but i wish BBot accounted for sizing and recovery. It only accounts for the truck and sending pple home often leads to them not wanting to show back up.

I just wush it was a better way to forecast hours as I STILL dont have pple for certain departments due to them quitting due to the instability of bbot and how the hours are setup.

Love my job and the raise I'm thankful for. Just hope the wrinkles up top can be ironed out so we can be put position to actually be successful.
