Too many to list:
• No Regional Managers leaving store managers with total control, creating huge disparity between different stores. This also means progression is difficult as once youre a store manager thats it.
•Toxic workplace where all staff have become too involved in each others lives, no proper boundaries set between managers and staff creating an environment of gossip.
• Upper management too concerned with being positive to give staff members a reality check. Some staff were (and still are) waiting for promised/suggested promotions but in reality they will never be offered these positions, management just string them on for years and years.
• Lack of consistency and clear favouritism when it comes to most things - availability feedback etc.
• No consistency within the management team
• Lots of drama within the team, people feel a need to be included in everything and consistently there is drama about nights out etc
• Yet throughout this nobody is ever really held accountable, put on performance reviews or have efficient action taken. I mean you even had some really serious incidents in my tenure and rather than actually firing staff they were just demoted?
• Toxic workplace leass to people doing work way above their pay grade! Wether this be training marketing etc
