I used to love working here and I loved the company. I felt that I worked for a company that cared for its people. Now it's all an obsession about numbers. The heart of this company is its people and that has been forgotten. Larry has abandoned the home office and turned a blind eye to what is going on.
Everything is a big show of how awesome everything is, but it's all a facade. Reading through the other reviews, I'm glad to know I'm not the only person who feels this way.
The managers, or people of authority, at the SSC are there because they were someone's favorite. It's difficult to respect someone above you if you don't respect how they got there.
The bigger this company gets the worse it has been to work for and the more money the company makes, the less we make. Raises are percentages of percentages and bonuses went from amazing to non existent.
Everything is about the company making more money or saving more money. I just came from the yearly company conference where they suggested the managers send someone home 15 minutes early every day at our stores. "Doing this will save the company exactly this much money in a year." they said. How about limiting employee turnover to save money? No one mentioned that.
Our motto is "for purpose". Maybe it's time to reevaluate what that purpose really is.
