What did you like most about the interview process?

What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Valuing employee labor and offering time off. Over staff the stores, stop squeaking by. Off hiring pay. Stop cutting benefits and giving it to people at the top when you have jobs because of people in the stores. Offer education to managers and develope them instead of giving them so little help
