Forever 21 Employer Reviews

I have worked at Forever 21 for about a month now, and I would say it's a good job, it was definetly better thatn my previous sales associate job at SIRENS.
A compressed list of why F21 is a good place to work

- Pay is above min wage

-Managers are responsible, nice caring and fun

-Most co-workers are nice (some not so much but oh well)

-Closing – more... Clean does nott ake very long, they don't expect perfect folding or detailing (just as long as the store looks decent and presentable)

Regualarity to schedule, consistetency in shifts

-Although the discount isn't all that great, the clothes are fairly cheap anyways so yeah

-Althogh the dress code is slightly strict, there is still a lot of freedom to express yourself through your clothes

-Customer interactions are not generick or scripted or fake.(You can actually have a real converation with customers, you don't need to always try an upsell)

-Maintanence clean is just that maintanence clean ( They don't expect the store to be looking spotless at all times) – less

A typical day at work requires standing up for a very extended amount of time, which has not been very beneficial to me. I typically recover the store as far as picking up clothes that may have been left on the ground from the previous night and straighten up my zone that has been assigned to me for that particular day. I have learned the value of communicating – more... with customers that come into our store and been very keen to their needs fashion wise. – less

Forever 21 offers many opportunities to grow and develop. Starting as a sales associate, I was able to enrich the skills needed to be a quality employee in the progression to my current position as assistant manager. The company's fast-paced environment demands the ability to multitask and work under pressure.The structure put in place by the company's – more... policies and procedures are criterion that develops exemplary employees. As an organization with an emphasis on teamwork, there is close rapport among the staff creating a fun and upbeat environment. The opportunity to interact with an abundance of people on a regular basis is one of the many benefits of working in the retail industry. Overall, the company is a starting point that has prepared me for my future. – less

I learned how to communicate well with customers. The management could have been better and the store would have thrived. The co-workers were very fun to be around.

everything consisted of people getting in trouble and everything an associate did was an issue. they even demoted people for having a popularity status at the job. upsetting but now its time for something new.

The company is ok to work for and gives very little back to their employees. Often times what corporate instructs and what actually happens within the stores can be quite different and unrealistic.

If you wanna stay away from childish games and people constantly being unappreciative of real security officers stay away. Management is horrible, security manager is not qualified to run the security department, "supervisors" and other top "personnel" have been handpicked for being the top butt kissers in the department. They are not qualified to work – more... in the department let alone be a security officer as half of the staff does not hold valid guard card. Your job is never safe as you can't even count on HR to defend you. Your life schedule will be controlled by the security manager as she is only lenient to her favorite guards meaning supervisors. Plain and simple this is not the place to work at. STAY AWAY!! – less

the hardest part is job have to come into working having to be told that your hours are cut because not enough sales or that they send home early because the store is to slow. the typical day at forever 21 is coming to work and starting of my daily task such as clean the floors or stocking the most enjoyable part is that all your co worker and mangers – more... are really cool and and begin able show of you good work – less

A typical day would be the mid day rush! Love when customers shop on their lunch breaks!
I learned how to dress for any occassion.
Management were fantastic!
My co-workers were very nice.
The hardest part is not finding a garment in the customer's size.
The most enjoyable part would be everyday!

Typical day at work go in talk with manager and what they wanted us to do . Help customers get outfits and orginaze and clean the store. Hardest part of my job is some young people are lazy and dont want to work .Best part is we got a discount in clothes.

my review and expreince is that i did like there at first when i strted then i didnt pick they had they favorite one and so judgemental to me and i was feeling very hurt in the inside so i decided to quite that job and go back to school

Busy and slow days. management not so great. enjoy customers at every job

working hard helping customers while working in a fast working enviorment.

A typical day at work consisted of keeping the sales floor on tip top shape while helping customers. At forever 21 I learned how to approach customers in a friendly way. Also, I learned how to stay on my toes because customers always have a request. Management was perfect and they helped nurture their workers. My co-workers were good people who could – more... work together. At times closing was hard because it was a few people to a huge section, but we always closed on times. I enjoyed the environment of forever 21 because it was always vibrant. – less

everyday i enjoyed going into work and working with my co workers. i also loved helping the customers who came into the store with putting together fashionable outfits and giving them tips on helping them find exactly what they were looking for in our store. as a head cashier i was in charge of all the cash in the drawers and some of my co workers . – more... i really didnt have a hard part that i experienced about this job other than that i was not able to stay longer due to myself, furthering my education – less

Recovering the sales floor would have been my least favorite thing about this job. So many little articles of clothing that needed to be folded was a bit much but overall the steady pace helped the day along. I loved the atmosphere. Very upbeat and friendly.

Typical day would be housekeep our sections, have a little meeting with our manager in morning, like a touch base, and we are doing that day. Usually in the beinging of the week we would go into our sections fix them, replish them, and if there is a update in our section then toexcute it that week. I learned many things there like; how to work with – more... different fabrics, excute floorsets and updates, how to merchandise, and those rules that. Also i learned how to work with concpets, and markdowns and many other things. I had the best co-workers, it was truley like a family. There was 6 merchandisers(including myself) and my VMM. Sometimes it wasnt all peaches & roses but we got past and grew stronger. The hardest part of the job was leaving, i think because i learned so much there and it was my very first job, and i meet so many amazing people, and i didnt want to leave i wanted to grow more within that company, and like also the hardest was learning how merchandise, and really get to be perfect. Management was very, our VMM was so great with us, she worked with our schedules if any issues, and she was always there to help us and teach us more. Also outside of visuals, the operations managers were nice as well, and showed us a helping hand. The most enjoyable part had to be my co-workers, because they have really turned out to be life long friends, and we had so many great memories together, and they really made working there just has better. – less

Their lack of good work ethic and respecting employee to manager confidentiality is a disgrace to what any business should be. Hiring managers who are not qualified for the position is a timeless trademark of theirs. Their job standards for potential employees who apply are of no existence. Moral upkeep of team on daily shifts is unimportant along with – more... acknowledging or even entertaining the idea to appreciate their few hard working employees. – less

Once again, all visual merchandising was the best part of my job. When I was in charge of all accessories, I really felt important and I loved the responsibility.

I got to meet alot of different people at Burger king. very nice place for people who goes to school.They have flexible working hours for everybody
