Unwillingness to increase store budget in proportions to increased sales, but expecting more work and increased production is the equation to a burnt out store manager and a store with lacking conditions.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Keeping customer service first and keeping it a priority is the most positive thing they do.

What makes you most happy at work?

I'm the most happiest at work when I truly assist a customer with something they needed and gave them excellent, friendly service that they don't receive at any other business.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership needs to improve as making each district work as a team to help out fellow store managers. Instead of making them compete, encourage them to reach out to each other for help.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Creating your own team is essential in the store. DM telling you who to keep/ fire while visiting your store 2-4 times a week and not knowing the actual person's worth while overriding that it's your decision anyways, happens a lot.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Just in general DM's demanding that store managers work 60 hours per week as they micromanage them with required 5am/5pm photo text messages showing they entered/left the store for the day needs to stop. Treating store Managers as incompetent children and demanding 60 hours per week without empathy.
