Review from Operations Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
inspiring people and creating a creative work place
Listening to employee complaints and stop gossipping about everyone.
Acknowledge the work of their employees and pay them fair wages. Stop expecting more for less. Stop restricting employees' access to basic needs like water and breaks.
Accountability and follow up. Most of all communication.
Authenticity is lacking, genuine care for employees well being and career path
having respect for their people
The corporate offices need to be more aware of the workloads given to the stores.
Executives are approachable and insightful
Training new employees and not throwing them under the bus. Also communication.
Hold leadership accountable of their actions pertaining to associates and hold them accountable for being present and access able to their own schedules
Listen to the workers. We are the company.
Review from Operations Dept
Leadership comunication skills organization poor training
Communication, honesty, work ethic, dependability
Management is a bunch of liars and scumbags
Review from Sales Dept
Communication. Stop lining pockets with employees bonuses.
They say they're "people first". This is far from the truth. They just keep pilling more and more work onto the retail gm's and expect everything to get done all while cutting payroll.
needs to actually communicate to everyone
Review from Operations Dept
Paying attention to anything other than the bottom line. Logistic are atrocious. Poor and rude communicators.
You need to actually teach your employees and not place them to do theses modules with a wall of text on point less information about CEO's every single module! Instead teach them about the program. Also, you need an instructor to guide employees to practice not to have them on their own.
Training in the area of professionalism and management skills.
