AVOID AT ALL COSTS - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Backcountry

Proceed with caution if you decide to work here. The leadership is completely out of touch. One month, they'll claim everything is fine, and the next, mass layoffs hit. CEO Melanie Cox’s history at Rue 21, now filing for bankruptcy for the third time, says it all. It’s no surprise only 46% of employees approve of her. Leadership doesn't prioritize what's best for the business. Their main concern is saving face and protecting their jobs, leading to poor performance, no raises, and ongoing layoffs. Respect is nonexistent, with toxic behavior seemingly encouraged. Backcountry had promise in its early years but was sold to a private equity firm, turning it into a neglected investment. They falsely promote a work-hard, play-hard culture on social media, but the reality is far from it. The benefits are awful, the gear discount is a joke, and the pay is well below average. You’ll be doing the work of several people, and even recruiters sadly don’t recognize the company’s name. Beware.
