The other employees, because I like to help people solve their foot problems, the free shoes.

You don't get comission on shoes.

Advice to Senior Management

So-so. The manager of our particular store is not as knowledgable about shoes as I would like

Pros

Company presses to be a tight knit family oriented company. They do a great job with benefits and trying to promote from within. They do a huge amount of volunteer and community service and encourage their employees to do the same.

Cons

Not an innovative company in any area, whether personal or professional. Little to no diversity in those categories as well.

Advice to Senior Management

Your employees are a mirror of your company. I would encourage them to evaluate each from the top down.
