Management at my location was a complete disaster. We had a new manager every week from different stores around Canada and the US for months until they settled on one. Most of the supervisors and part-time staff worked like crazy and blew away sales targets, but received almost no credit from the new management. Nepotism was a huge issue with the manager as well. He gave fresh hires (friends and previous employees) most of the hours and slowly phased out hard workers who had been there long since he had even arrived.
The manager also told very inappropriate jokes that bordered on harassment. I confronted him about them in a private meeting and he took away most of my hours, and made me feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome until I eventually quit.
Many of us were asked to work overnight shifts for a week to repair the damage that the lack of management had caused during the store's grand opening. There were no added incentives for doing the overnight shifts, not even brownie points.
