Pros
Agri minded community, should be flexible, learned things from customers
Cons
Corporate bigwigs changing policies every two months or changing systems that were in place. I understand making changes to improve efficiency, profits, productivity, etc, but changing the entire systems and procedures (inventory, sales, restocking, freight) every two months wasted more man-hours and cost more in frustration and just busy work than it was worth most of the time. Why spend ten hours resetting the store if you’re just gonna spend ten more hours redoing it in a month or less. Why waste the time and supplies to reset everything!? If you set up a freight procedure, stick with it and let people get into the hang of it before you decide to change it up!! The reason it isn’t efficient is because you change it up all the time and everyone has to retrain!! Wasted time, money, supplies, etc. alllll over the place in almost every aspect of the store. And trying to work on 5% labor budget is absolutely ridiculous!! This isn’t Walmart or DG, where you don’t really have to help most customers with anything. TSC really pushes trying to ask questions to find out what the customer is really needing and helping the customer all the way through the sale. If you want excellent service, more than two people should be scheduled!! Customers needing load-outs, chicks, restocking feed, unloading trucks, etc, take up a lot of time and one person getting stuck at the only register with lines backed up to the back of the store while the other is running around trying to complete the “daily tasks” is madness and exhausting, especially for low pay.
