I would need the content of the entire world wide web to describe the pitfalls of this festering hellhole, so I will have to limit it to just a few.
1. Management are incompetent fools who ascended the short ladder of success without ANY professional training. They lack the ability to resolve sensitive issues and act as if they actually arrived at their status by real training, demanding one-way respect.
2. Loss Prevention would rather follow employee's around who may be under suspicion of accidentally taking home an ink pen, than worry about the customers who are enjoying the five finger discount going on in the Electronics dept. After all, those pens add up?! (How many pens does it take to add up to ONE 15" flat-screen tv?)
3. I worked for a spitefull, troublemaking supervisor who was constantly trying to purposely change my off days out of pure spite just because I had different view points with him about religion! He even bragged that he had a "gift" for making the store manager believe him over the lower employee's, that way he could have a free pass to mess with you. Should have sued for hostile work environment?
4. Store manager always validating her lousy assistants over the other employee's. Your word is no good here. Lies are believed before the truth because lies are technicalties used to write you up and lighten up payroll at their convenience.
5. Way too many politics in-bred from ignorance and pre-set mentalities. Very conservative environment- 97% of the employees were pissed when Obama became president. Liberals and free thinkers BEWARE!
6. Quite simply, the store is a run down heap, barely holding together. Pipes break, ceilings leak, customers deficate on the bathroom floors, panels of wet ceiling tile constantly plopping down, 500 year old air conditioning system never works, employee's are rude, short tempered managment with impossible demands, too many long term employees working bankers hours, when more help from them is needed on evenings and weekends - I could literally go on forever.
