SW hires most often from within, so moving up is easier than moving in.
As an employee working in the stores, we run a very diverse team at this level.
When management finally sees and appreciates all the hard work lower level employees do for them. This is rare.
The executive team does not listen to lower level employees, even when they have true constructive criticism. They would rather fail than listen to lower level employees.
At the lower level (non-Corporate positions) we are a very diverse team, meaning that we have helpful feedback coming from many different people. This creates a very helpful and inclusive culture on a store level.
