Out of touch leadership

CEO approval

Pros

TA Leadership in particular is pretty good

Cons

Merit increases were "delayed" only to announce that they weren't happening at all a month after we were told the announcement would come. Goals and metrics used to evaluate associates for reviews are often unrealistic/unattainable. Evaluation is done based on potential not performance, high scores are only given when associates are doing far above and beyond what we are paid to do. There is always more being added to your plate, often without recognition let alone additional compensation.

Remote work, but at what cost

Replenishment buyer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fully Remote - wfh since 2021.

Cons

The systems are always changing. Desk responsibilities are always changing. Metrics are not in your favor. Held on to our annual salaries to "hold the bottom line" for our investors. Moral is low and managment has no control. Emails and system errors. Disconnect with all other pillars.

Not replacing people

Warehouse associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Unlimited PTO, flexible hours, free food sometimes

Cons

No merit increase at the DC level, despite producing more money than the previous year. They squeeze the DCs so thin and force us to run lean. Will not replace people who retire/fired/promoted/quit/died. A lot of associates have to do the jobs of multiple people. Old building and equipment, won’t invest money into the DCs (one DC in Southern California didn’t even have a front door and every time they ask for one it gets cut from the budget).
