Zero help at store level from corporate Abysmally low pay rates, less than $1 range for regular employees to grow and anyone below a manager is locked beneath $15/hr, which is the average STARTING rate in the area Corporate has openly bragged about keeping their costs down through low wages and minimum hours (they think 12 hours average at less than $15/hr is acceptable and outright say if employees want more they can find another job) Corporate forces near constant set (plan-o-gram) changes with the only noticeable break being over the summer but fails to send all items needed for the sets in time for them to be done leaving sets half completed, partially empty, and/or filled with things completely unrelated New store managers get hired on only to leave in ~2 months time, almost always because of lack of support and empty promisses by the company

zero formal training, constantly putting out fires due to lack of formal processes, widespread burnout at expense of employee wellbeing, transition to remote work sacrificed the cool company culture which lead to high turnover of early-mid career merchants during the pandemic
