Complete atmosphere of disrespect in the store where I worked, starting with management. Store managers do not hold employees accountable and do not keep the employee/boss relationship separate. As the inventory control specialist, I was responsible for all back room activity such as receiving and preparing merchandise to be placed on the sales floor, as well as ensuring that the warehouse is kept neat, clean, and organized. Non-warehouse employees were constantly hanging out in the receiving area on many occasions merchandise and receiving equipment was damaged as a result. I discussed these issues with store management multiple times to try to resolve the problem. Each time a plan was created to prevent this from continuing in the future. Sadly, no plan was ever implemented and no other action taken to address the problems. When employees put food inside a $2000.00 piece of equipment, the store managers response was to laugh and tell me that they were just messing with me. I reported the incident to human resources. In response, I was to written up for disrespecting the store manager over this issue and my job was threatened. I was told to stop my complaints and told that I would be fired immediately if I acted in that way again. I realized then that after 5 years it was time for me to go. I quit a few months later.
