Good cultural environment
Associates are very good to work with; always suggesting and asking when in doubt. They were the best people I ever had.Cons
Most Managers need to undergo training for Interpersonal Communication Skills(including those just coming out of college). They need to understand employees' feelings. Some people had a rough day at home, but Managers care less to know. Instead, they want to write them off, sometimes without verbal coaching.
Internal promotion from a Tier III upward is difficult (I might say in some buildings from experience). Some Tier III associates have been in that position for more than 3 years, have degrees coupled with experience, but are usually denied to move up. Thus, they rather resign and then reply externally to be hired upward.Advice to Management
Managers, leave your "self-gratification" right at the front door before entering the warehouse. You have people of different cultures and origins to work along with; let that spirit flow through you all the time. Leaders, give attention to employees' feelings and concerns. The rate is not all that matters. When you have a stable mind and a kind heart for another, the rate will fall into place.
Make promotion from within a priority as long the candidate is qualified for the position. Forget about picking and choosing Leaderships' favorite associates so that you cannot damage the unique image of AMAZONAmazon 2018-05-14 09:41 PDTHelpful (2)
