Pros

Benefits are good, coworkers are very nice, and company is very generous to all the communities they operate in.

Cons

50 Hour Work Week needs to be reduced so work life balance improves. Rarely is a 50 hour week really a 50 hour week based on the work load. Budgeted hours continue to decrease as the workload and expectations continue to increase. Something has to give. In terms of support, it all depends on who you have assigned to your store. Questions simply do not get responded to directly, instead the typical response is "Stay Tuned", what is that all about? Our district turns leadership constantly, is that a coincidence or is it a result of the poor support we are receiving?

Thank you for posting details on your experience and concerns. While we of course adjust staffing levels based upon the needs of the business, organizationally we have not reduced hours to stores over the last several years. With all that said, we would like to discuss these concerns with you. Please contact your district team leader or HR business partner to share your experiences.
