The management from the top down is abysmal. Fred Clark visited our Madisonville, KY location and had EVERY SINGLE associate ushered off of the floor so as to not all us to speak to him. He didn't speak to any associates or offer thanks for our work that earns his profits.
As to the management at the Madisonville location: repugnant. It's a culture of "bow your head and get back in line" and bulverism. Even if you have a valid concern, they will simply explain to you why you are wrong. The management doesn't listen to the concerns of associates and people with no management skills are allowed to advance on the merits of their closeness to a particular manager. The top management is also comprised of people with no managerial experience; social workers and ex-teachers do not necessary translate into valid management experience, regardless of academic credentials.
Also, they fire so many people it's entire possible to have an entirely new crew from month to month. Sure, perhaps on a national level their turnover is low, but in this area everyone in the tri-county area has worked here and either left for greener pastures or was fired within their first two weeks.
