District and regional managers have no idea how hard it is for store managers to get the work done that corporate is expecting them to do. It is absolutely ludicrous the amount of things they throw on your plate at one time. The weekly Market plans that you are given 10 hours for when in reality it takes you about 40.. I'm not sure who does the planning in corporate but they need to spend time in a store actually doing the work that the store managers do to get an idea of how hard we really work and how ridiculous their expectations truly are . This along with the company deciding to change every damn system at the same time .. payroll...Freight processing and HR management... without perfecting any of them before they move on to the next. You're stuck spending too much time in your office trying to fix problems that corporate has created by taking on too much at once. Beyond frustrating. Looking forward to a new job soon

The management is horrendous! Managers have chips on their shoulders and are rude. I was scolded multiple times on my first day for making a few mistakes, like forgetting how to do a product exchange (it was my first day!) I overheard one manager make fun of me in the break room-very unprofessional! The rules are ridiculous. For example, cashiers aren't allowed to handle $50s. If a customer hands you a $50, you have to ring a manager, who is probably busy and will be annoyed that you bothered them. You also have to collect emails from every customer so the company can spam them. The manager then prints out your success rate and humiliates those who did not meet the 25% email collection goal. The store is also open on Thanksgiving, which is disgusting. Sales associates should be home with their families. No one in America needs to buy a $1-5 item on Thanksgiving! Say no to corporate greed and close your doors on Thanksgiving.
