What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

the place good for quick part time job

Review from Sales Dept

They need to stop hiring uneducated perverts, and promoting them to manager positions.

Review from Sales Dept

Lower prices, actually price items on the shelves since it makes it twice as much work for employees to run to a POS and have to scan in every item for a price.

Some employees slack on purpose and others are forced to pick up their slack.

There is no trust in co-workers. Also, the company policy to recruit friends tends to alienate real life relationships, further straining day to day activities. Recruitment from outside referrals would go far to help..

Review from Sales Dept

Employees are desperate and trying to get ahead of the next hire. They typically try to get others written up to win favor.

Review from Sales Dept

They to care more about solving the customers problem then about the profit they will make

It's not safe, extremely long hours with no breaks, and we're criticized by management because we don't do the work of 30 when we have 5.
