I am a new hire at Hollister and will be giving you a day-to-day update on the experience of working at Hollister is like for me. I am not representative of the company and opinions expressed are clearly that of my own, and do not reflect the company's stance on events. Thank you! :)

What day are the new employee schedules posted for the hollister soho, NYC store ?

Lol....That really depends on your manager, it's not like I know what day each store posts their schedules. But GENERALLY, schedules should be posted by Friday.

Are you allowed to work at hollister and abercrombie at the same time ? i work at hollister but i want to work at a&f too .. and is the pay and discounts different ?

I think you're allowed to, you just have to get the ok from both store managers. The pay is the same, discount is different. HCo is 20% and A&F if 30% (mainly because their stuff is way more expensive lol).

I'm a new employee at hollister ,and I was wondering when is the last day for me to buy my AAA clothes ?

2 weeks from your hire date.

I'm a new hire for visual and my orientation was today, there was no available shifts but the manager said she would call me if anything opens up, would it be okay of I stopped by to check to see if there were any shifts or is that not a good idea ? I really need to start working now, I quit my other job because I thought I would be working at hollister immediately, but it's weird the way they set up the shifts .. ALSO, when should I check the website to see of I have any shifts ?

If your manager said they will contact you, just wait for them to. You can check the schedule every Friday to see if you're on there.

Does each position have one manager ? ( visual, cash, model, impact) also after I clock in what should I do ? Im visual, they didn't really tell me much information

No, there is a store manager and 3-4 assistant managers. Each one should be able to help you in any area.

how long does seasonal last ? and do they just stop giving you hours or do they tell you your done ?

Seasonal workers usually work from Nov-Jan/Feb. Your hours will decrease and eventually you'll be taken off the system unless you want to continue working as a regular employee.

Hi there! I just got hired yesterday and they said we must wear the one's they showed me on the orientation or similar to that, but I don't have the shirt. I have similar hollister jeans and a similar flip flops but not the shirt they were talking about. What should I do?

I would suggest just buying the top.

[adayathollister]

Do you still need a walk out when you're not working and just buying clothes from the store ?

No, just after you've ended your shift.

[adayathollister]

I didn't know it was optional seasonal thing to sign up at. I just filled out the stuff to become a worker. They didn't ask me. Or told me about it?

Hm. Then I'm not sure. You can always ask your manager. If you are a seasonal worker, you can always ask your manager you want to be regular. 

[adayathollister]

if the hollister jeans are a bit too long for me, can i cuff them thinly a few times or does it always have to be folded twice?

It depends, some managers don't mind but some do. You can always get them hemmed?

[adayathollister]

I got my associates card yesterday And I was wondering if I need to buy the triple a clothes before they call me for my first shift

You can buy them before your shift but it's recommended to just buy them before so you're prepared. And yes, you'll still get your discount.

I had a interview at hollister sept.17 and I got the job on Sept.20th but the system was down for a week and I had to get all my stuff ready. So I basicallywas enroll in October. Does that mean I'm a seasonal worker? because they didn't tell me that.

If you didn't apply for a seasonal position, you're probably not a seasonal worker.

[adayathollister]

I got hired for three weeks already but I never had a regular shift. is that normal?

It'll probably get better soon once December rolls around.

[adayathollister]

can I pick up my check after payday? or i have to get it on payday?

You can pick it up after payday.

[adayathollister]

Thanks for the advice, yeah I think i answered the questions very well, it was a small group, like 3 other people. and i was the only person who used the word diverse to describe the brand, you've really reassured me! (Asthma Attack Girl) xo

I'm really glad I could help! :) Hope you get the job!
