I worked in the Fine Jewelry department at a Bloomingdales in Atlanta for 2 weeks towards the end of 2005. It seems that Finlay has their share of disappointments but mainly through employee relations and behavior. I was hired during a high transitional time, the department manager that was recently terminated apparently had stolen thousands of dollars in merchandise and seemed to be the main focus of constant conversation within the department. I have worked many years in retail and have served several high end retailers but it seems that Finlay/Bloomingdales at Lenox Mall lacks the tools to control the behavior of their staff and apparently their managers. Rumors were flying around regarding the previous manager was hanging with store security to possibly sway them to sexually harrassing employees to just out right harrassing employees in regards to personal matters. During the 2 weeks I was with Finlay I found my training seemed overshadowed with politics and I felt that I was not given the proper training to be successful in my position, I was being trained by a district and regional manager as well as various "visiting" managers so one could guess that most of my training was a bit scattered. I felt the entire time I was being set up to fail but I guess that's just the way of corportate retailers. Lesson learned, this little lady will never stray from locally owned businesses again.
