If you are a hard worker and have a great work ethic you will be given more and more things to do, you are not told you're doing a good job or told thank you but you are told how that you're not doing your job properly. If you're and butt kisser you will go far in the company and will have less and less to do and be told what a great job you're doing. As a department head you are told to do more and if you can't there is a stack of applications for people who would replace you in a heart beat. In addition to ordering your department on Mondays and Tuesday's you provide customer service, answer phone calls, run the register (which you will spend most of your shift checking people out and then get your butt handed to you for not getting your department ordered), also having to clean the employee bathrooms and break room, you also loose and hour at the end of your shift for go backs and recovering (which isn't bad minus the part where you live on your register). The schedule for the next week is not put up until Thursday or Friday and they do make changes without letting anyone know they did it your time for the week. At night there are only a couple people closing which means you have to recover almost half the store by yourself. 75%- 80% of the products have to be hand priced and there is zero tolerance for accidents. There is zero training, it is all trial and error when you are hired on as a cashier you are told to do your best but don't mess up or you'll get written up. The CSM who is supposed to train the cashiers does not do her job but instead stands around talking poorly to and about the cashiers, instead of building them up they get talked down to like they should know the entire store and prices automatically. When you are hired on as a department head you are handed and IPad and told to figure it out, don't go over basic or you'll be written up, there is no training in the departments either, if you want to succeed you have to learn about it outside of work. Everyone does not work together as a unit to get the job done correctly and to make it a better store, everyone plays against one another. If the co-manager and assistant manager don't like you they play games and set you up to fail, they want sheep working for them who will do what they say when they say with no questions asked. Managers refuse to call you when you page them, when you are waiting for a zone check you go over your hours waiting for someone to walk your department and then you get in trouble for going over your hours. Their solution is cut your hours somewhere else and if you don't a write is in your future for the week.
