Some of the worst managers I have ever seen in my life. Favoritism to the highest esteem. Favoritism isn't always a bad thing, it's okay when favoritism is applied to something reasonable such as work ethic, however this is not the case. Some of the staff that are held to high esteem are literally some of the most unproductive staff there is in the store. Managers will hold everyone accountable but themselves for the outcome of the work. They will not handle conflicts professionally and will only handle them in the manner that is the most convenient for them. They are lazy hypocrites, and sadly the whole store falls for that. Much of your hardwork will likely go unrecognized and will be as admissible as another associate who does enough to get by. If you don't fight for your pay, they may as well give you short raises while deserving more. In this situation it's the squeaky wheel that gets the oil. Make reasonable arguments for your pay increase if you truly are a hard working associate getting the short end of the stick. Sadly this happens because 90% of the time truly your managers will not even be there to even witness your work ethic so a lot of your efforts will go unnoticed. The reasons why they are not there...well that's something that I've mentioned up above. Worst managers ever.

Stress level is very high. Difficult to balance workload with clinical initiatives. Micromanagement is the new motto. Focus is on appearances. Impossible to provide quality customer service with current payroll matrix. Corporate does not recognize real world challenges. No allowances made for individual store challenges/differences.
