Review from Sales Dept
Starting from store manager and it goes down to the rest of the personnel
Actually work together and not complain behind each other's backs
Coworkers have little emotional intelligence, common sense; they are immature, selfish, don't look out for each other, lie, gossip and do as little as possible.

Employees need better pay, bonus paid on time an without certain restrictions. It's unfair to expect excellent quality service without a good motivating factor.
Better management. Not someone who doesnt care about what shes doing or any consequesces to anyone else
More deals and bonuses for employees
Leadership change from the top down instead of talking about caring actually do it
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Listen to the person being interviewed
In this store store manager
Actually communication with the store manager instead of a random email saying your interview is scheduled. Not enough time to prepare for Interviews.
They should look more into who theyre promoting and hiring
If they at least pretended like they cared you were there
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Leadshipmhas no idea what thau are doing and are put of touch with our customers
Putting the prices in items
Fair wages for everyone an proper compensation for employees when they are sick or injured.
They noticed that we were imprioving the stores in our area & then several of us got a no budget upgrade. The stores & associate morale comes first.
The lack of available employees because we don't pay enough.
