12 years of part-time work. Store manager is supportive, the other employees are good people. Company overall is meh. Always trying to save money, cut corners. Minimal/no training on new products, very little spent on employee morale. Store employees mean very little to corporate.

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.

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.

They need to improve their communication, working as a team as well as not condescending or belittling employees in front of others.

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

There are too many new employees in management roles. We need to have fewer "cooks in the kitchen", fewer stakeholders in every decision.

The gossip from management about other employees needs to stop. The cattiness and unprofessional attitude from management needs to be dealt with.

I feel they need to take time to see If this person truly wants to work. Hire energetic, sociable people, and well driven. We are enter acting with customers who spend lots of money with us. They deserve to be appreciated, and receive a hello how are you. Boats are work . Make them smile.

They should be more respectful of people's issues and also if someone has to take a small break every couple hours because of a minor health issues. Please do not harrass or threaten them with firing right off the bat

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.

Our company needs to replace registers and card readers instead of pulling more profit. Hire people that greet the customer, engage, and advise them of our memberships and protection plan.
