Pros
Culture and the teams you create! We have the ability to do fun things and decorate the break rooms and really engage with the whole team
Cons
Since stores were restructured most stores lost leader head count, while the demands and workload continues to increase. As a GM I spend an average of 4-6 hrs on conf calls a week. Taking away valuable time from my team. Want to be micromanaged from a regional level, we have that too. The amount of spread sheets, surveys, checklists continue to grow, again taking time away from my team and customers. Being apart of the mid Atlantic region and east territory is overwhelming. I know other regions are not micromanaged to the minute like we are. I left the company because it’s retail and shouldn’t be this hard. Work life balance became non existent with DM calling on days off. Scheduling TBs during time off and expecting you to be available. The company has lost its “people first” mentality in order to cut company costs and turn an even larger profit
