Well, I'd take a look at how your store is comping or achieving plan. My store consistently above plan with conversion of 29.4% traffic around 7000 a week with and ADS of $28.80 and I operate on base hours of 280/300. My store performs so I get the... — read more 

This is crazy!

Just call the People Department. I mean they are so smart.

I had to deal with Mimi on several occasions - I was not impressed but at the same time I cannot say she was incompetent - mediocre would be a proper term to use here. I do not think we lost much with her departure.

lay off Mimi!! she did the work of an entire department and was super supportive and smart

Mimi had no clue what she was doing so I'm sure UT can't be worse than that bitch. Mimi sucks!!!!

Finance does payroll at evey retailer, asses on this site. Do you think anyone would leave it to the field to set hours? Seriously? So many bitter old employees on this site, the company is doing well and you still can't stop bitching. Just leave, oh... — read more 

Only assholes post on this site. Just quit already! Go work somewhere else

Finance should not have anything to do with the payroll hours, they have their heads up their asses.

Mimi in payroll quit. So now they have some random person doing payroll who clearly has no idea what they are doing.

The payroll hours are a joke now, how am I at base, there is no way I can do my job with my hours getting cut. Back to school is going to be the biggest debacle yet at CR.

Really 11pairs? And where was your team for her to actually get 11 pairs of denim? And don't talk about hours and staffing, I've got one of the toughest, hood, nasty malls out there with 218 payroll and over 7,000 traffic counts a week and I still... — read more 

your right- shoplifters ONLY go to charlotte Russe. no where else. retail doesnt have external theft just Charlotte.

11 pair, I am sure she just changed her mind..... Don't worry, the company bought them at cost. You refunded them at retail, and we now take shrink at cost. With our book keeping, you should be flat.

Try 11 pair of denim, 2 styles, same size. Yep, we are ethical of reporting shrink. Hahaha

You are so right! Just tonight I had a customer change her mind on 9 tops, all same color and size.

"refund customers"- guess what??? people are allowed to return. CR associates think its like a deadly sin to return and they treat customers that change their mind like they are doing omething wrong....THIS is the problem!!!! its human... — read more 

finance- your wrong dufus!

Did the RD's really deserve that promotion?

Retail is what my last company calculated shrink at. I know it's worse, I keep losing my front tables, and refund customers are in here all the time. Sad

Oh, okay. Because projections are based on cost and not profit or sell through. Idiot. Only retailers covering numbers use cost. Loss is loss at of projected profit, not projected if its sold or not stolen. Keep thinking that, you are perfect for CR.

cost is more accurate moron- its what most retailers do.

The company is losing money left and right. They can't keep good RDs, they promote the bad ones and we lost so much money in shrink, they reported the numbers at cost, not retail as in the past. Oh we are doing great!!!! Let's give Jenny another... — read more 

escaped bankruptcy because of a slight improvement in the economy, it couldve very easily been the end. and still can be if the economy tanks again. no cash and slightly profitable, not a good situation to be in.

15 new stores because they were able to get the landlords to let them close 50. Still the lagard in the industry. Getting killed by everyone except Wet Seal.

CR isn't laying anyone off anymore we are just making up titles for people and keeping them on payroll. We must be doing well.

job description- do sprs

Thank you so much CR for the business. I made the right decision about this time around last year. I was very worried because people were saying CR will file BK... My payment has never been late and very happy to make goods for CR.. Best buyers are... — read more 

Is Jenny Ming done raping CR yet? She should be fired (not laid off) first.

CR is a great company! I have an amazing DM and RM. Idk who you other field employees work for, but you guys need to move to R3. I see that the first post dates back to 02/04/11, only a couple of months before CR is bankrupt. That was 1 yr, 5 months... — read more 

I worked at CR from back when the Lawerence brothers still owned the company. They had just opened store 13, which was College Grove. Even though I went on to bigger and better things, it makes me sad to see that this could be the end of an era. I... — read more 

Ignore KGood - he's just trolling around trying to set little fires around hoping for a big blaze. Just ignore him...

This board use to have useful information, now it is just the dumb people that work in stores. It was better when the corporate team would post bc they actually know what is happening w the biz. The store people are uneducated retards who cannot get... — read more 

Charlotte Russe under investigation for lead in products.... Not good.

I had a lady leave me a message Friday. But it must be BS because the call came from Boston not california. 617-951-9400

For all those fools saying advent is calling asking about stuff...BULL SHIT!

I got a call from Advent today. They are asking questions about hiring, people, and the RDs.

Kathy M and Don F are the 2 people who need to be fired first, as someone who works with them closely, I know how little they do and how many ethical lines they have crossed with spreading rumors.

Seriously, another logo change??? How ridiculous is that.
