Unrealistic Workload and Zero Balance

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

• Flexible Scheduling • Benefits Package • Economically Sustainable

Cons

• Unrealistic workload at the store level. • As a salaried employee, you pick up ALL the slack, and are often the one covering shifts; work/life balance does not exist. • Lack of payroll to support effective operational execution. • Wage disparity across immediate adjacent state lines creates barriers in recruiting. • Opportunities in communication and planning from the top to the field. • Customer demographic lacks social awareness
