Burlington Coat Factory Employee Reviews (2025)

Rating 3 out of 5

My experience with Burlington Coat Factory is fair because at times I enjoy working with the colleagues and I enjoy working on the floor where I am assigned projects to organize the Home/Linen department. The only issue is the inconsistent hours and schedule.

I would like to see changed in communication at my workplace. I feel the entire community and environment there can be positively impacted by increased communication.

After earning a degree in Fashion Merchandising I thought being an assistant buyer at this company would be a dream. Unfortunately I work extremely long hours with my lunch "break" consisting of one hand on the computer mouse and another on a fork with cup of noodles on it. This reality has caused me to fall into depression of my current work life balance. I do not have time to go to the gym or even make dinner when it's expected to work from the minute you get up to the moment you go to bed (12am). This has caused me to spiral mentally and it has affected relationships with family and friends for not being able to have time for them.

The management can be greatly improved on. Hours are scarce and are constantly being altered (given and taken away). However it typically is not affected by the individual store owner, but corporate itself. The relationships and friendships I have made however have been top-tier.

I began working at Burlington six months ago in July 2023. I began as a receiving associate and was quickly promoted to Lead Receiving Associate, and now I am the Receiving Supervisor. I love the people I work with and I enjoy waking up to go to work each morning. There is room for growth at Burlington. I am challenged and praised for overcoming obstacles that are above and beyond my job duties. I am willing to work extra and help in other departments because I am appreciated. I would recommend other people to work at Burlington. They are a diverse and welcoming company. They promote equality and diversity and hire people from all walks of life. I love Burlington.

Retail environments like Burlington are often fast-paced, which can keep you engaged and make the workday go by quickly. This dynamic atmosphere can be exciting and provide opportunities for personal growth and learning.

My experience with this company has been really positive. While management may be stressed from time to time, they keep up a professional composure that's really admirable. This company has been really flexible for me as I'm a full-time college student and I'm not handed long hours so I can focus on my studies.

Coming into this position with no retail experience, I was able to grasp the concept after only an hour and half of verbal training on my first day. Thankfully, everyone was helpful and around; when I need a reminder of anything for the remaining seven and a half hours shift. The most satisfying aspects was being told about the great feedback from customers on my first day! It was my pleasure to make sure my customers had a great experience. Burlington Coat Factory was a wonderful place to work at if you wanted a full time job. I already had a full time job, their part time hours were long. It was a great job but it is hard to move up in the company. You first have to apply and speak with management and wait for them to make an assessment about your abilities. Pay could be better especially for someone with experience or who is a fast learner. They had me at part time but kept calling me in to cover people’s shifts.

I only worked here for a few months, but I could tell it wasn't the right place for me. It's a great first job for people to gain experience, but there is no room to grow, and we typically get paid the same as the supervisors.

The cashiers only get 1 or 2 days to work each week, and while we are there there is no help 75% of the time. But the pay in decent

I had an overall good experience at the company. I worked during the holidays so it was extremely busy but I still enjoyed my time there.

I like it it’s a good place for growth in a company. It has taught me many new skills for my future. This includes multitasking, customer service, and handing difficult situations. Working here and going to college at the same time has taught me how to balance doing both. I moved up to a supervisor position and have been working here for 3 years now. It was my first retail job and have been with the company since I got out of high school in 2018. The management team is great. My manager works well with my school schedule which is important as a college student. I have had to train employees on the register and how to take care of the sales floor. I am consistently helping others with problems that may arise with customers and any other questions when they get stuck and don’t know what to do. I help do projects like re doing the checkout line to ensure it is easy for customers to shop. I like to may sure customers have easy access to merchandise. I do this by organizing products.

Management is undeniably the woorst. Associates are immature. There’s a lot more, but overall I would 4/10 recommend working at a burlington.

Rating 4 out of 5

nice place to shop, good deals..but not to work. they will try to call you in on all of your off days ( side note: just don’t answer). they are always having markdowns and low prices on things. like a mini walmart for clothes and house stuff.
