I was hired by Spirit Halloween (henceforth: "Spirit") for the Halloween holiday season starting back in August. From the very beginning, it was obvious the company (or at least this individual location) had many problems.
For the first few weeks we were busy setting up the store and during this short time we went through two separate assistant managers. Over half of our original starting crew was fired within a few days, leading many of us to wonder why the initial hiring had been so broad if only to fire so many individuals so quickly. Scheduling for the job was handled incredibly poorly and I can with confidence say that the manager of this store, Deshara Wallace, is mostly to blame for this. Wallace would say the schedules would go out on a certain time, as is corporate's policy, but the emails never showed up. She would explain the next day she was still working on it, constantly coming up with an excuse for how she couldn't find a few minutes to do what is supposed to do her job.
