Pros

The pay was same but not worse then most retails companies.

Cons

I give this as warning to all future store managers, shift supervisors and below. Respect is not a word used at Lincraft. Staff from store managers to below are blamed for everything. Which happens despite the real problems coming from very poor and ruthless middle managers. Huge store manager turn over. I saw three go while I was there for less than six months as entry level retail assistant. The same story goes for shift supervisors and general staff. Constant problem with over stocking not surprising since stock take is done every 2-5 years, that's right there is not even a schedule for this! With out going to to much details I saw 3 people have to go to their doctors for stress problems. New managers/ staff are burnt out and fired, this being the case that has prompted me to write this warning. In short staff turn huge, due to poor treatment from middle and above management.

Pros

Mostly great customers and team members.

Cons

Management needs a refresher on its own policy’s and practices. Completely unfair treatment of team members with short pays and in some cases no pay, no acceptance of different identities. A revolving door of new staff that barely last the week because of pay rates or hours. Also a complete lack of any training procedures. Learn on your own and don’t complain but if you need help, call someone and we’ll get upset with you for doing it wrong. Zero chance of career advancement. They always outside hire. Always understaffed. I spent most of my hours in the store completely alone. Incredibly small budgets were always the excuse for the short staffing. Which in turn lost customers. It’s completely unprofessional to have one person in an entire store.
