      Front End Supervisor- Clinton, CT

      Front end supervisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      While I was there the staff was friendly . The Management is very open to conversation. I was working there while I was in college and I was rehired each time during Summer and Winter breaks. If you put in the work and dedication, it will not go unnoticed. Be a friendly person and you will go far.

      Cons

      Not the best pay. I feel like a supervisor should be compensated more than they are. There are a lot more responsibilities than a cashier but the pay is typically only a few pennies more. It is hard to move up to corporate or management levels .

      Thank you and it looks like we have an opportunity in your location to share a couple things. 1. How pay for performance works. 2. What an associate needs to show and do to get to the next position. Thank you for sharing this so we can better educate the management team. Good luck.

      Thank you for the feedback. We worked very hard to put in place a revised time and attendance policy that is in line with other retailers. In fact, we have one of the most lenient. We clearly need to help your store re-communicate this. Thank you..
