Since my transfer, I can list plenty of cons starting with..
Being penalized for utilizing open door policy. I transferred to a store in which policy and procedure was literally tossed out window. Manager stopped speaking to me for months every time I voiced a complaint.
Politically based store. It is about how well you talk the talk.. walking the walk isn't deemed necessary.
No longer considered promotable. Not sure if it because I utilized the open door policy several times.
Rapport with management is nonexistent. Discussing tasks needing to be completed was considered to be, and I quote verbatim "telling a manager how to do their job"<<<< This is when I realized I would not be promoted in this store and went back to school.
The prisoners run the prison. Associates will quickly tell managers what they will not do and management says nothing to them about their insubordination. The associates who put forth valued efforts are penalized because "they should know better" than to act like everyone else.
Team Player values are nonexistent. It is literally an "every man for themselves environment".
Adequate training is not provided.
Those coordinators who have been promoted are the type to never rock the boat.
Manager at this store is can never be wrong. Dictator style of managing.
In order to transfer to a different store of a lower volume where I know I would be easily promoted, I would have to agree to a substantial cut in my hourly wage of at least $3-5/hour.
Hard work and strong work ethics are not valued.
New scheduling system is a joke and a nightmare. High volume stores should have kept the Admin Coordinator position. Too much work for Ops Manager and 100+ associates.
