Review from Sales Dept

some relationships are good and healthy

Review from Sales Dept

Being able to help customers is literally the ONLY good thing about the company. Even the employee discount was garbage

Review from Sales Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Everything the whole mindset of the company they have started to take all the perks. Everything is a write up or issue with management. They no longer care for there people. I was there when they did and was a wonderful place to work.

Genuine leadership. Leadership training that is effective and not robotic and reliant upon modules to do their work.

hiring experienced managers and taking the time to train them

to actually care about the workers

Long hours but thankless leaders. Leaders not leading by example. Unrealistic expectations. Heavy workloads for a small number of employees to vomplete.

Interaction with the district leaders at the store level needs to be more. District leaders need to be more present in the stores. Corporate team members need to wear masks at work even if visiting other offices or stores. They often do not.

Closer observation of store leaders, specifically their behavior towards associates.

Review from Sales Dept

The environment would be better with a fair and mature management team.

Review from Sales Dept

Stated previously before. Respect for employees.

Review from Sales Dept

Pay and promote lower management fairly! HR needs to improve anonymity and conflict resolution. LP needs to be able to prosecute shoplifters. If a customer has a proven record of abusing the system, fraud returns, and assaulting staff, they should at least be banned from stores. Did not feel safe.

Review from Sales Dept

As of right now, everything seems to be running pretty smoothly.

Review from Sales Dept

The management team is very disrespectful and insulting to the employees.
