DSW is an amazing company with great benefits. The environment you work in is in the hands of your management & at your fingertips. The challenge is the customer base, dangers in post pandemic incidences, and Corporate personnel not having enough care about its employee's day to day well being.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
The management works with the strong core values of the company's PAST. Since the pandemic, the company has not cared about the people- who are the building blocks to the success of the company! They seem to only care about monetary value and not experiences anymore.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I believe they severely underpay people in management & only provide funding for personnel in sales associate roles due to minimum wage raises. Example- a 3rd level manager of 6 years makes $18/hr while an associate who is under 1 year makes $16.50/hr. No allowed conversation compensation tolerated.
What makes you most happy at work?
What used to make me happy was the drive to grow, learn, and gain experience- as of recently, they have bled us so dry and spread us so thin with more work, less support, and then inaccurate/ unfair reviews. Example- 40% of performance based on a program with severe technical issues (Fulfillment).
What are some of the best things about your team?
The team I have built in my store is based off of the company's past culture. The culture the company wishes to portray is great- but contradicts the company's actions. They want people to feel valued- but then cut bonuses in half due to technical online ordering system errors not of our fault.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
I love the culture and environment I have been able to build and maintain- it feels as f the company works against this with their actions. One being the cuts on payroll- Corporate have expressed the hope people just quit after not scheduling them for a month- to avoid layoffs & legal responsibility
