DSW Associate Store Manager reviews

Corporate representative visits to the stores are a terror. All managers within each region communicate furiously trying to assist each other in preparing for each corporate visit. Corporate personnel have a degrading and demoralizing effect on you and your assistants. Corporate representatives often say "Treat it as if it were your own store", but of course you cannot implement any strategy of your own without facing extreme criticism. Corporate expectations regarding labor hours per task are completely without reason. There is no operations manual, and policies change constantly.
