Upper management very micro managing.
No support from DM or management past store.
No creative flexibility for merchandising.
Excessive workloads and high expectations with low payroll.
Impossible sales plans with no chance to bonus. If you bonus for 3-4 months straight and the company sees your increased sales...they alter your sales plans and up your sales by more than you'll ever be able to do. Bye bye bonus compensation!
Upper management past store does not appreciate store management staff. If you are looking for part time employment then this is the place for you! Home Office and upper management seem to think the world of its part timers but fail to realize how much management works to help the store succeed.
Coupon policy. There isn't one and customers abuse their perks & mistreat associates.
High turnover for part time employees.
Pay is not worth what they expect of you.
Communication is VERY weak from corporate. One dept will say something then another something else.
VERY unorganized corporate and home office.
Too many memos daily with too many changes in "workload calendar."
Customer complaints..corporate will never back you up even if there is proof you did nothing wrong.
Hope you don't like breaks because in management you hardly get any but if you don't punch out for lunch even if you're the only MOD you're in the wrong.
Hope you like stress because that's pretty much all you'll ever get.
