My passion and focus has always been for my customer! I love to coach and develop the team to help engage our customers in making an amazing and unforgettable experience! However, my store manager fails to recognize all my hard work and dedication and all the time spent away from my family. I come home everyday sore, and extremely tired as I have to practically run and run to make sure we get everything done that is expected to get done! Then I feel that we have to bend over backwards for our associates but when I want to express how Im feeling I get the cold shoulder. I used to love working here, it's just becoming so political and can only get ahead if your practically best friends with the DM. Its sad to me that this was exactly where I wanted to be a few years ago to wanting to run and go somewhere else. The headaches and heartache isn't worth it. I want to feel like I matter but just coming to realize that I don't and probably never will. Sad that i put in so many years of my life to feel so worthless and unappreciated here at the end of this career! Just wish I mattered! I'm getting to the point that the pay just isn't worth it anymore. The pay is great but willing to leave for a pay cut just to feel good about myself again!
