Business outlook
Pros
The US division is not profitable and lacks organizational structure. Plenty of opportunity to do nothing while DMs also do nothing.
Cons
Technology (inventory controls, POS, online ordering) is outdated and unreliable. Wages are lower than average across the board, District and regional managers are almost fully remote; don’t expect store visits or support. Tight payroll and operating budgets, recycled visuals are dated and shop worn and irreplaceable. Inventory replenishment is random and shipments often have breakage and are over/short. There’s no budget for store maintenance if something breaks. No budget for meetings, trainings, store events. Managers are pressured to provide groceries at own expense to host cooking events.
