Company is obsessed with profits to the degree that they quite literally choose to be blind to everything else. Managers are forced to work insane hours (60-80 per week) or they are told they're not team players.
Occupational and safety laws are commonly ignored.
Full time is somewhat of a dirty word to the company now. The remaining non-managerial full timers that still work for the company will almost certainly be the last of their kind. They are grandfathered in.
Promoting employees is also a thing of the past. You must find a job posting within their online system and apply if you wish to move anywhere within the company. Being promoted is more about having the hiring manager "like" you than anything else.
The manager in training program requires that you agree to move anywhere they want you to without upfront reimbursement.
Upper level management is almost entirely detached from the day to day activities and constraints of an individual store. Numbers mean everything.
Big customers can not be told no. They have access to the numbers of higher level management who will eventually bend and tell the middle managers to simply "make it work".
Exposure to hazardous chemicals, fumes and machinery.
Salesmen run around making false promises to companies that stores are left to fulfill.
