When I first started I felt the company was an amazing one to work for; however, local store management changes, along with changes in top-level positions, have worsened company policy and devalued the once-fun atmosphere.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Slowing down on the need to micromanage every associate's actions on every task.
What are some of the best things about your team?
My coworkers themselves are an amazing lot. They're all very hardworking (despite the company's policy of "relentless coaching" as if they weren't!) and great with customers.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The permanent manager is on pregnancy leave and was horrible - Temp manager is even worse - DM refuses to deal with ASM/lower management unless it's to "coach" on sales--over the phone.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The amount we're expected to do does not fit the pay. I would feel better about company expectations if I was being paid more. People go to school for degrees to get paid more at jobs that expect the same amount of work.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Actually caring about the associate team and the morale. It feels like the company is more worried about making sure everyone follows the 10,000 kooky rules for selling and visual standards than they are about running the employees into the ground. My store is being run like a sweat shop.
