Review from Sales Dept
buying and pricing of products
Review from Sales Dept
There is no cohesive look to the store, especially in furniture offerings. It's just random statements of lots of chairs or tables, but nothing that really conveys a look or style for decorating a room. The store is full of stuff that you can find at the Dollar Tree, but at four times the price.
Review from Sales Dept
clearer communication with front line staff regarding the state of the company
Pricing, keeping with trends, employee incentives, and much more
Review from Sales Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Pay was just minimum wage but yet position required some knowledge of interior design, customer interaction, shipping procedures, etc.
Review from Sales Dept
Associate discounts continue to be cut. Pay is less than other retail employers is the area
Review from Sales Dept
If there is pressure to make big sales on items like furniture, then we should get some kind of recognition or compensation. It's basically just a "Good job! Here's your minimum wage."
Review from Sales Dept
The pay does not match the manual labor that is expected from you
Review from Sales Dept
Commission would be nice. Customer get better deals than employees do
Review from Sales Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
We could work together better as a team and have each other's back in the face of unknown circumstances.
Review from Sales Dept
Work towards a common goal. Too many people are trying to do the same tasks to impress the new CEO and constantly name dropping the CEO to get their way.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
absolutely nothing needs to change
Review from Sales Dept
Our company doesn't seem to know what direction to go and they absolutely don't seem to want the opinions of the very people on the front lines who could make a difference in this company surviving or failing. Those of us who work with the customers every single day and know their opinions.
Review from Sales Dept
Asking everyone to work 50-60 hour weeks when they haven't seen an increase in pay for 2-3 years is unreasonable and will cause a lot of turnover.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
make it more about actual skills rather than who you know
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
it can be improved simply by training employees instead of throwing them into it and forgetting that they havent been fully trained. it feels like we arent given all the tools to succeed and then get talked down to for not knowing.
Review from Sales Dept
Too much inventory. Stores are crowded, and we don't get rid of clearance merchandise fast enough so we have piles of it with nowhere to go. P1 doesn't seem to know who their customer is. Don't overload smaller stores with so much junk. We are beginning to look like a Dollar store.
Review from Sales Dept
executive turnover, layoffs, stock prices below $1 - executives and the board need to get back to our roots and remember where we came from rather than trying to be so modern
The people in the home office kept making decisions that we think are not productive and make little to no sense. It is almost like they have not idea what we actually do in the stores.
Review from Sales Dept
Not listening to the employees and finding out what the customers truly want.
