- hard on your body sometimes

They refuse to properly staff their stores and expect employees to work at an outrageous pace and will time you on everything you do in order to cut costs on labor and avoid hiring more people. The district managers are almost always young, freshly graduated college students who know nothing about what it’s actually like work in the store and will point out problems that you don’t have the time or staff to properly fix. All of the issues that the district managers constantly bring up about store conditions, cleanliness, product availability, etc could be easily resolved if they simply had more employees on staff to do all of these tasks. They don’t care about the employees at all. We didn’t get a store discount and as an assistant store manager I didn’t even get any bonuses, only the store manager, even though the ASMs contributed just as much to the store’s success. They preach about how work life balance is so important to their staff but God forbid you had someone callout and can’t find coverage and then you’re having to work twice as hard and staying way past your scheduled shift to cover for it. This company is a complete joke and treats their employees like soulless machines and doesn’t take into account that we all have bad days.
