FOREVER XXI Employer Reviews

I have been working there for almost two years. I got there when me and my family came here in Canada in 2011. The way people treat me there was good, and I have met different race of people, and became friends with them. The hardest part of the job was if we are not busy, because my salary for that week will decrease. What I like about this job is – more... when we get bonuses in holidays and other occasion. – less

A typical day at work is usually greeting and acknowledging customer who come to the store, helping them with finding clothes and assisting where items are. I learned to multitask, and manage multiple duties. My co-workers are professional and esay to work with. The hardest part of the job is pleasing the customer, especially a dissatisfied customer. – more... The most enjoyable part of the job is establishing a rapport with customers by greeting and talking to them, as you would a friend. – less

-no good hours would be all over the place and they would cut your hours down.
-management was so disrespectful and degrading mainly store manager(2013) and one of the co-managers
- there was alot of favoritism
-coworkers were good to work with, some were lazy but there was some hard working individuals
-The pay was not good at all would pay minimum – more... wage even if you had previous experience
-Store had to much product on the floor (on racks)
-Would keep you really late – less

Being my first retail job in Canada, I believe was the best store to start with. It gives you end to end exposure, and keeps your day exciting and is extremely fast paced. I had the opportunity to work a very diverse and very skilled management team and was to manage a team of 100+ employees.Weekends would be very intense and extremely busy which was – more... something that entire would look forward to.The best part is diversity of the team including age group, – less

Worked Mon-Fri 7-3:30pm.
Trained staff, merchandised/remerchandised sales floor, drove sales,100% customer service in person and via phone. Management was good. Co-workers were young sales driven individuals. Hardest part of my job was thinking of new sales tactics on a daily basis. I enjoyed helping customers on a daily basis.

VERY FAST PACED. EASY TO MOVE UP IF YOU SHOW THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO WORK HARD.

I have a passion for clothes.SO working there was an honor.The customers was always friendly so that made my job a lot easier.

Very unprofessional work place. management spends most of their time outside of the store messing around in the mall, showing up to work drunk and extremely hung over and there is no authority because management and associates spend their time outside of work sleeping over at each others houses and partying in South Side Pittsburgh.

Opened a new store within a major market. Supported management in high volume fast paced junior retail clothing store in all aspects of store operations. Facilitated visual merchandising standards. Valued as strong cashier in peak holiday season.

I really do love my job because its so fast paced. However the dress code bothers me a little and at the end of the day my feet are always killing me because i cant wear tennis shoes. Other than than I love it :]

I maintained my zones as asked. I liked keeping a clean store for the customers to come to. This was a very easy job; a very fun job.

I loved to work there. It got slow at times so there were not that many hours, but it provided me with excellent customer experiences.

I learned a lot about customer care at this job and learned management skills and thoroughly enjoyed working with my peers.

The customers are MONSTERS! The mess they leave creates an ugly domino effect that keeps the sales staff cleaning until the wee hrs of the morning! It's almost impossible to keep up with how the shoppers shop. And it would be in your favor to be bilingual since about 90% of the customer base come from Mexico 2-3 times a year just to shop at Forever – more... 21. The management is great, they try their best, but it's hard to motivate an overworked staff. The associates are worn out all the time and do not, in my opinion, receive the proper monetary compensation for their work. There are however some "bad seeds" that should be weeded out. The employee discount is a joke, and there are no benefits for anyone but management. Not even direct deposit! – less

I believe Forever XXI is a great company to work for. At this job, I learned not to get upset with others who don't share your same work ethic.

Very fun, very fast paced work environment. Ran cash registers. supervised fitting rooms. Each employee had a specific area of the store, a zone, in which we were primarily responsible for. The hardest part of the job was the massive amounts of go backs that were still there at closing. The best part of the job was assisting customers, and seeing there – more... expressions of excitement! – less

I would not recommend this company to any of my close friends. I enjoy the people that I work with but I do not agree with a lot of polices put in place by the upper management team. The 401k benefit leaves a lot to be desired.

LONG HOURS UNDER STAFFED YOUNG MANAGEMENT THAT ARENT TRAINED.

Work days go smoothly for the most part. Closing down the store daily was a bit of a hassle. Of course when customers shop things end up out of place, we'd have to spend hours after closing to put the store back together. That was a indicator of the fact that some employees weren't maintaining their zones during the day.

Everyone is literally Forever 21. Too much drama among the managers. Just standing there in your section and not helping anyone else in the store is ridiculous. Too much unnecessary standing, no one calls you or takes your place when its time to take your break. Fights among employees and managers... Just a ridiculous environment.
