It once was the best place to work, now only goals for money and POP! Stars are important.
Pros
When I was hired on it was a great place to work. Everyone worked for the same goal of customer service. The manager knew your strengths and put you to work where you would have the most success.
Cons
One of the foundation principles is "Communication is Leadership." Communication is looked down upon if it is not totally positive. Even if you are just detailing what needs to be done for the betterment of the store. We are supposed to be a 1 = 3 employee, which now seems to be we need to be able to do the work of three employees and are paid for just being one person. I like working hard and being challenged, but this goes beyond most people's capabilities. Our store has become very clique. There are people the GM likes and they get the hours. It used to be a place I loved to go to and I would work as hard as I could for the betterment of the store. Now I see new hires getting sale shifts and they have no idea as to what products are in the store. The new hires have not started by doing maintenance shifts and where they can learn about our inventory first. They are put on sales shifts and are always on the 'walkies' asking if we have this product or another. When full time opportunities arise, people who have been working at the store seem to be at a disadvantage. Someone from the outside seems to get these full time opportunities. Very hard for the prime timers, no upward advancement possibilities.
