Positive

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The company has a negative culture. The stores tend to have a somewhat positive culture. Managers tend to insulate their subordinates from upper management and the overwhelming feedback and communication that comes at them. They are like the filter between the top and bottom.
everyone can joke and laugh
Customer interactions and diversity makes it a great place to be.
developing relationships with customers with similar interests
We foster a learning environment and are constantly on the lookout for our customers, whether it’s recommending a book or talking to a new parent. Their translates into our personal lives in management where we know and can trust the managers to be there

nice culture, peaceful and positive
Our home office's timing of ruling out new programs,new systems,and upgrades...etc...isn't always thoughtfully planned out. Have assentives /bonuses for the whole management team not just Store Managers
