What do you like best about the leadership team?
Nothing -- district mgr only threatens, never inspires or provides leadership
They leave the store manager and employees alone to do our jobs. But they don't seem to want to invest in hiring or retaining good employees. Hiring budget is minimal, no product training provided, payroll constantly being cut. It's not sustainable.
Only good thing about them is that I don't see them.
That they are available to assist and mentor
My SM was amazing. DM Lizzy Mae Kerr does not know how to treat or develop people. Frustrating to lose people to poor leadership. I know because this was PT job for me. Had my own company until I retired.

What are some of the best things about your team?
Knowledge and willingness to help customers
The staff work well together and truly care about each other. There is a strong team spirit which allows to to watch out for the store and each other. We used to have effective employee meetings in which we learned about products and best practice procedures. Those have not happened in a few years

What did you like most about the interview process?
it was short, very brief
It was a strange interview but that was mainly a product of the Interviewer who no longer is at West Marine
Review from Sales Dept
I interviewed 12 years ago, different manager. She was supportive, knew there would be a learning curve for me and supported me through my learning. Got along well, I was sorry to see her leave.
What I like most about the interview process was getting the job
Not much to like took forever
What makes you most happy at work?
The hot yacht cougars,easy pickins
Helping a customer put together a plan to do a complete product and explaining the products and techniques involved. They walk out with everything they need for a complete job and the confidence that they can pull it off. It feels like passing it forward.
