What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The managers need to be fired and replace with better ones
Review from Sales Dept
When people first start working there, they throw you on a computer and expect you to be trained that way. When you actually get put to work, and ask for help because you are confused, there is a sense of attitude from even managers. Like its not my fault the computer didnt teach me right
Review from Sales Dept
better employees more hours to do all this work
Review from Sales Dept
Give stores hours to be able to do proper customer service. Get rid of the worthless surveys get rid of the lying mystery shoppers. Its sad the we do the hard work while ceos sit on their butts and get the big bucks
Review from Sales Dept
The CEO is bleeding money into failing remodels and making up for lost profits by laying off 4000 members of management and cutting store hours to the bare minimum. Stores are failing and good employees are being driven out by unrealistic expectations and cuts.
