The issue concerns a specific region where one of the stores is located, not the entire company. I shop there all the time and I see a very diverse group of employees at every store (I live in the SF Bay Area).
But considering it’s the O.C., nobody should be surprised. They’re stuck up & racist in that area. I would personally never go looking for a job in that region for this very reason.
Well….I actually worked there. My store managare was Asian, and assistant manager was a mixed Puerto Rican/Black girl. I am a black girl. I lived in AZ when I worked there. If anything, maybe it was just the particular store managers of these women filing the claim? And also, I have shopped at wetseal.com for years. Everytime I go I have been proud to notice a black model in the new season’s campaign.
I no longer work for them because in general retail is crap. But if you are looking to boycott (if you even shop there), take a visit to your local wet seal and then see if you get that vibe.
