This company's GOAL is to reach 40% retention FOR A REASON. They preach family values, and all the things the marketing team tells them to say but you won't find any of those values down in the trenches where the work is being done. Down there, they're sending guys out to deliver furniture during a hurricane and actively looking for (and in some cases, fabricating) reasons to write you up so that when the slow season comes, they can call up all the bogus write-ups as a reason to let you go only to do the exact same thing the next year. For instance, I was on light duty after being injured care a careless associate. They made a doctor's appointment for me that gave me 4 minutes to drive 9 miles back to work afterwards. Obviously, I was going to be late getting to work after and they wrote me up twice for that! Wondering why 40% retention is a pipe dream? Try getting to 30% FIRST!!!
