What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Bad management. A lot of people who left have been mistreated and unheard

Review from Customer Support Dept

Rude assistant managers and employees

Prices are very high compared to competitors. Do everything you can to encourage them to come for good service. Don't tell at employees so loud it can be heard through the store so clients leave immediately. Honor written return policies instead of being lazy refusing to help resolve issues.

The ownership is uninterested. Third generation inheritance...

There is an unfairness throughout the store. A manager should not get away with doing less than minimal work.

Review from Sales Dept

Employee exploitation. Ive never seen employee satisfaction this low. Pay us what we deserve and give us benefits.

Review from Sales Dept

More pay less stress better management

The staff, they need to be removed

there is favoritism amongst the management and unprofessional behavior. we are talked down to and made to feel that we are stupid sometimes . when we have concerns or questions nothing is ever resolved

Supervisors and Managers need to stop trying to be everyone's best friend and put their foot down when people continue to call in, show up late 15-20 minutes. Stop picking favorites and treat everyone equal. Communication needs to be better all the way around!

Review from Customer Support Dept

More training and putting the customer first

Have to be away from home for 10 days at a time

Treatment as second class peopke
