Working Class Uniforms

EMPLOYEES HERE DO NOT CARE! I called and spoke with someone twice that I would literally be pulling up at 5PM on a Sunday after traveling an hour, I told the lady that answered the phone and store manager for the day. I let them know I would be graduating Thursday. Today is 6÷12÷2016, Sunday and would you believe a customer was walking out and the lady with the pink pants literally locked the door and walked away with laughter. You guys should not just hire anyone for the job that does not care. I hope she never cross a nurse line of care because I’m going to spread the word and description. Who says screw someone’s graduation after working hard and traveling from a job of carrying for people. Could have been her family member that delayed me. Unfortunately not a caring bone in her sole, I will be calling the corporate office tomorrow regarding this as well as telling my fellow colleagues and co-​workers not to shop there. It was four people literally walking to the door that evening. I did not want to rate these workers but had to in order for submission of my message.

I ordered new scrubs at a fitting at my work on May 9. The woman at the time was friendly and helpful. Little did I know what I was getting myself into.
To start off with, my friend and I were told two different shipment times– eight and fourteen business days. With little more than a carbon copy receipt, there wasn’t much I could do except wait. The end of three weeks rolls around, and I give them a call to find out the status of my order. None of the women I spoke to seemed to know anything about this fitting that took place, and the only person that could possibly know was out for the day and could be reached the following day. So I called again on a Friday (May 27), got a hold of her, and I was told it would come either the end of the day or the following Tuesday. Nothing shows up on either of those days or on Wednesday.
Finally, I give them yet another call on June 2, explaining my situation. When I lament about the lack of information, how it’s now been nearly four weeks since I placed the order, and how I was told it was shipped already, the worker simply said «Well it’s only one more business day». I guess so, after waiting three and a half weeks! This woman gave me a tracking number, and after looking it up myself, it is expected to arrive at the end of today, 17 business days (not counting the day I ordered it or the holiday) later.
Will I be ordering from them again? Not if I can help it. Awful customer service. Now we just have to wait on these scrubs!
Edit: Received my order (at last!). The tops are all fine, but unfortunately all the pants are in the wrong size. Debating on whether or not it’s even worth trying to coordinate a return with this company.

Great place! Unbelievable selection, very competitive prices, fantastic service. This is what you are looking for from a uniform supplier.

At first there was confusion about our order but brenda and Wendy figured it out. Had no clue until she said so that this was her first time. She took the time out to make sure everything was correct. That is very hard to find now a days. She kept thanking me for being so patient but I explained to her I’m the one that’s thankful.
Wendy you were a class act you keep up the great work. Wish your manager had stuck around to see how fabulous you were.

The only reason I gave one star is because I can not give less. I have been buying scrubs for over ten years and this is the absolute worst place I have EVER step foot it! All the employees are rude, very uneducated on the product they are selling and act like you are bothering them when asking a question. This is the closest scrub store to my home so I have unfortunately had to endure this hell more than once. If you are able to, travel a little bit further to pretty much anywhere else or order online and save yourself the headache and the high blood pressure you get having to deal with these people! Awful, just completely AWFUL!!!

I normally don’t buy my scrubs from here because they’re so expensive. I prefer to buy them from people on ebay or at the thrift store or from people on facebook. They’re scrubs… as long as they are clean and they match I don’t care what print I get. Anyways, I’m starting nursing school in the fall and had to order my special scrubs for clinicals. We had to order them through the school who ordered them through Working Class. For a scrub top, scrub pants, and scrub jacket it was $ 80. That’s a pretty expensive outfit. Granted, they did need to be embroidered and they do look really sharp but that’s still a little steep for me. However, when I went in there it was completely hassle free and everyone was very polite.

I had a good experience. I called and asked if they would check their stock for several items. They did and held the items for me. I picked them up without a hitch. From start to finish, staff was polite, pleasant and helpful. Some of the items seemed a bit on the high side (watches in particular) but overall, the store is worth checking out.

If I could rate Celina by herself, I would give her 5 stars. She went above and beyond to make this a great shopping experience. But since I can’t, I have to rate my experience overall. The other ladies that work there have HORRIBLE customer service!!! Its like customers are bothering them when we come in to buy from their store. These ladies need to get out of retail and find a job where they don’t have to interact with people. They need to hire more people like Celina!

I have been searching for several weeks for women’s work pants (I’m a mechanic) to no avail. I happened to be in town and despite the terrible reviews, thought I’d stop in on the rare chance they may have something that could work.
My experience was AWESOME. You can definitely tell from the front window they are geared mostly toward women’s scrubs, but had a pretty great selection for multiple professions. I tried out at least 10 different styles of work pants.
The only downfall was they didn’t have the exact size I needed, but quickly offered to order it for me and ship it to my home. The staff was friendly and helpful and the store was incredibly clean and well organized. The checkout line was a bit long, but they had both of the registers open and they were pretty busy, so the wait was reasonable.
I created a Unilocal account specifically to leave a review for this great place because I felt the Unilocalers were way off base. Despite the fact that they are well over an hour drive from my home, I will definitely be returning!

I love to read reviews while actually in the process of shopping to see how close the reviews are to the actual visit. It seems the biggest problem is with the service. We went there on a Friday afternoon and the place was jumping.
The store associate that we had could not be more helpful. She took the time to show us the different styles of uniforms and made sure that the fit was okay. There is only a handful of employees working there and this store does get crowded at times. I think one of the problems is that when school season starts, the students head there for their clothes for the class.

As someone pointed out, the store hours could be little longer.

I read all the horror story reviews before coming in here today, and braced myself for all the poor service and rudeness that was promised to me by previous Unilocalers… but it never happened.
Working Class Uniforms is about 35 minutes from my house, so it wasn’t my first choice. But apparently the nursing program I’m in has a contract with them, so I made the drive out to Oak Lawn this weekend. I came in with a laundry list of mandatory gear I need for school, and despite there being a good amount of customers in the store, I was assisted immediately. The woman who helped me out was nice and very patient with me, allowing me to try on different sizes, get measurements, and find every item I needed from the list.
The store itself is clean and nicely laid out. There’s a huge selection of workwear and uniforms for most every profession. Strippers, however, are out of luck. I couldn’t find any G-​strings or nipple tassles anywhere. I can’t explain or speak for the negative reviewers, but I totally recommend Working Class. Great prices and great service and located strategically in the middle of the South Side’s medical district.

I was in desperate need for a new pair of work pants. Unfortunately the only time I could get them was Saturday. In a pinch and rushing I made it to working class at 5:57. Three minutes before their supposed close time. I got to the door and it was already locked. I wasn’t the only one trying to get in either. There was another couple there just as confused as I was that the store was closed. The store closing early upset me, however not as much as the two girls in the store that just stared at us. You would think that a manager wouldn’t allow this type of behavior — closing early, losing customers etc. I was extremely disappointed. Save yourself some time and go to Work-​N-​Stuff just two miles south on Cicero ave. Don’t support businesses like this. If I could give it zero stars I would.

I’m not surprised at Gabriel’s review. I went to fitted fir my uniform for my new job. I waited while they got my paperwork which was fine. Then one of the ladies asked one of the workers who was working on name tags to get me fitted. She huffed and puffed because she was trying to get her work done which wasn’t a priority according to one of the ladies. They were just very rude and they tailored my pants short as hell. Makes no damn sense. I visited their sister store Uniforms to You on Elston. That’s a whole other review but a positive one.

Been here a couple times to date. Mostly because they have more selection and t’s a tad cheaper than going to Life Uniform in Tinley Park. I can only buy petite sized bottoms otherwise everything is like 5 inches too long, but it boogles me that I can only find ONE pair that fits, and there aren’t multiple pairs of the same kind on the rack. So then I have to go to another rack of a different brand and try those on. I’d much rather buy multiple of the same one that fit then have to bounce from brand to brand AKA rack to rack. Otherwise selection is good. However, customer service just plain lacks. I’m not asking for hand and foot service, but the employees are usually huddled together in one place chatting instead of «working». I dunno, it just seems unprofessional because I’ve worked in retail before as well so I have been on that end before. Customer service is much better at Life in Tinley Park, I will say, it’s just hard to find what I’m looking for.

So let’s talk about the hours that they keep. They close at 7pm Monday thru Friday. To me that’s the worse idea for a uniform store that is 2 blocks away from a major hospital. Many nurses get off work at 7pm. It would be so nice to go there after work and not on your day off. Not a great selection for men in healthcare. They are relatively inexpensive, but now that my hospital has gotten insane with their uniform policy, I think they are likely to lose some business.

Not much selection for men in healthcare, however, they have a huge amount of product geared toward the females, like mock wrap scrubs, and pretty colors, and all that jazz. That’s right, that’s an oxford comma.
The scrubs and related merch here is generally cheaper than other uniform stores, and that is all that I can comment on here.
