Cons
Store payroll hours were significantly reduced during peak holiday season and to compensate for the reduction, salaried store managers' required weekly work hours were increased, with no increase in pay. Store managers are the only salaried managers in the store so assistant managers and supervisors leave precisely on time after 8 hours, whether projects are completed or not, leaving the store manager to stay and finish work. Corporate stopped funding any hours for office time for managers, even though reports, emails, schedules, entering information for online orders filled through store, interviewing potential candidates, conference calls, associate reviews, etc., etc., must be done in the office. If you get a customer or associate complaint against your store, you might as well look for another job because regardless who the complaint is about, it's all your fault. Upper management encourages associates to call the hot line, which is supposed to be to report unethical or unlawful behavior, but is used to complain about their schedule or assigned tasks.
