Where there is smoke... - Production Manager Savers Employee Review

Where do I begin? The communication between the stores and sourcing is a complete joke, and it makes the job miserable. More often than not I was fed lines about "that's the way it's got to be" without even the slightest modicum of supporting facts. In my location, my direct supervisor was so bereft of understanding in terms of HR protocols that we frequently had to scramble to fix his mistakes. Worse, the lack of ownership of said mistakes. And even worse yet, when communicated to HR, there was little to no follow up or concern. You'll be fed lines about how they're a reduce/reuse/recycle company, but in fact they do the bare minimum required by local and state law. Moreover, they purport to be a community focused enterprise, how then to reconcile the shift from the Community Donation Manager being focused on outreach to one focused on little more than dock supervision? All in all, it's smoke and mirrors. If you're not bothered by these things, go for it. The money is there, and provided your store leadership team is engaged, you'll be successful.
