West 49 Employer Reviews

Although the job of working at west 49 may seem like the ulitimate job i found the company was too focused on the number and sales and cared less about the customer experience.

a fun place with a great employee base
training is just right shows you and teaches you everything you need to know

I have been a part of the West 49 family for almost 7 years now! I have grown and learnt so much being apart of this company and really feel like part of a family. They treat their employees with great incentives such as their Platinum club program where employees have the chance to go on all expense paid trips to places such as Newport Beach California – more... like I did! Where you get to meet tons of great people and have a great time, it really makes you feel appreciated. – less

Initially one of the best places I worked. Tight knit group, very fun place to be. Pay wasn't very good, but okay if you're just looking for extra cash. Quickly turns into a popularity contest. If for whatever reason people don't like you, which could be for something as simple as going to the manager about not recieving enough hours for a month, your – more... hours mysteriously start to decline until you are forced to quit. Management is awful. Had four managers in the span of a year, most of which did little to no work. Promises of advancement (often used to make you stay when wanting to quit) are rarely kept. Same with promises of benefits and justified pay raises. Employees are generally not treated well. – less

I enjoy working at West 49, it is time to gain some new skills and work experiences.

Although an active lifestyle company seems relaxed and "chill", you are responsible for maintaining a high-level of performance in the country's leading active lifestyle retailer.

the other people working where great people. couldnt wait to see them everyday when i went to work

West 49 is an amazing place to work. Everyone has positive attitude and the excitement to work.  I have learned from West 49, time management, organization skills and customer service skills.  The management are good role model and set a standard for the younger co-workers like myself. With management and my co-workers we all work as a team and communicate – more... with each other. The hardest part of working at West 49 is how you cannot learn from the great environment and opportunities from co- workers, management and the company. The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing, that your customer is satisfied with there purchase and come back as regulars. – less
