Advice to Senior Management

Okay

Pros

They were flexible with availability to work.

Cons

The management was poorly skilled and did not care about their employees. When corporate employees came to visit the store, they treated employees terribly. They treat everyone as if they are thieves. They have a very poor corporate structure.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat your employees like human beings.

Pros

Conveinet, medical coverage is decent better then some others.

Cons

All employees are not treated fairly.

Advice to Senior Management

Learn to listen. You are not always right. Stop playing your favoritism it is no longer a mans world.

Pros

Fellow employees were great to work with. Other than the employees being great the managment and district manager were not friendly and treated employees poorly.

Cons

The new store director treated employees horrible, talked down to them. Fired me at 7 months pregnant.

Advice to Senior Management

If you want your employees to respect you treat them with respect. Talking down, barking orders, being condescending isnt the way to earn respect.

Pros

the pay is great the benefits are outstanding

Cons

it has become an embarrassment to work there anymore no help the store needs to be modernized
the prices are outrageous

Advice to Senior Management

the stores are a disgrace to work in anymore clean up the stores LOWER THE DARN PRICES stop running it the old fashion way get with the times

Pros

Easy job, management was flexible with time off. There was little responsibility and a pretty generous time allotment for lunch/break. Its location (3 blocks away from the beach) was pretty nice.

Cons

Not really any respect between the workers and management. It felt like no one had a place to move up to, and everyone was in a bad mood most of the time.

Advice to Senior Management

Respect your managers more--and maybe they will do a better job. Instead, they are miserable at work and it reflects when dealing with the frustrated customers that come into shop on their beach vacation.

Pros

great starting pay, benefits, 401k, flexibility in scheduling

Cons

union, promotions are based on seniority not job performance, focus on customer service is made difficult with lack of labor hours.

Advice to Senior Management

work in a store so you can see what we deal with everyday. it seems like every week there is a new program we have to roll out but no labor hours to go along with it. the more work that is put upon our plates is less time we have to service our customers the way they deserve to be served. also as far as job promotions, having them weighed so heavily on seniority is unfair to those who have the experience and ability. too many employees have entitlement issues based on their years.

Pros

Good way to gain experience in customer service, and leadership.
Great benefits from working in a union.
Very flexible with hours.

Cons

Management tries to skirt union contracts at time.
May have to work with less than an optimal amount of coworkers at a time because of call outs and not being able to call replacements in.

Pros

Because even if you have no skills at all you will still be hired provided you pass the drug test.

Cons

When you take any time off dont expect someone to take over your job; they will let your product sit in the back room while out on the sales floor there is no product for the customers. Also they are always preaching that they have no one to fill in for you. They just dont want to hire anyone.

Advice to Senior Management

You hire losers to become our district managers; people who have been a part of why other chains have gone under....and they are leading our stores down the same road.

Pros

The people are nice, the job is thankless, but if you work hard and remain dedicated there's room to grow.

Cons

Of course the pay is low you that's just a reality. You have to join a union and they take fees so it sucks if you're not pro-union.

Advice to Senior Management

Be nice and work well with the people you manage. Give more feedback so new employees can quickly improve and do their job better.
