Falconeri Reviews

I was hired and didn’t get the agreed upon amount I’d be paid. That was a the first red flag. Next up is the manager of one of the stores. Absolutely the rudest manager that I have ever had the displeasure of working for. Barely has any patience, always cuts people off when talking and even fights with her associates when clients are obviously present in the store. Never listens to reason and swears she’s right and everyone else is wrong. This manager does not have a welcoming spirit when on duty and our best days were always when she *WAS NOT* working. Morale, atmosphere, overall attitude of the staff was much nicer and more welcoming, open and fun. Complete opposite when she’s on the clock and staring down our backs. Terrible at dealing with issues, will have an issue with one staff member, then go and talk to another associate and complain about it and this associate has nothing to do with the situation. Micromanaging at its worst. Complains about time and attendance of her staff but is last more than 80% of the time, but of course, corporate and HR won’t do anything about it because they coddle this one. Corporate should have never hired this one as a manager. Absolutely unfit to run a store. They seriously need to reevaluate.

I was hired as a Senior Manager for a location that already had a manager and was not told I was coming to take over store until I showed up on payroll. Not okay. This location had no staff and upper management did not have a calendar to plan for business initiatives. With only two people in store, we were berated to sell, do inventory changes for over 3,000 products, plan events and work consistently to fill in the schedule holes. I was looking to hire but most of the candidates did not have "the Look" or "did not look clean". They judge you on if you have tattoos, piercings, how your teeth look, etc. I was there 3 months and they still would not hire a full team. I was mocked continuously by upper management. They do not prioritize what's important. Money is always MORE IMPORTANT. I was called aggressive for stating the obvious. I was also yelled at in the most unprofessional way but it was deemed as the Italian way. Im sad for all the employees that work there because they feel stuck and are vigorously applying places but the job market is not so great and upper management sees this as an opportunity berate them because they know they cannot leave. I was highly disgusted by how they talk to and treat the team. HR needs to replace the leads for US with professionals who understand what proper work practices are.
