An experience, not a career - Associate Manager Coach Employee Review

High expectations with little training. Extremely negative environment much of the time. (Cliques) No room for advancement: Upper management tends to hire from outside the company instead of developing and promoting from within. Constantly rolling out new systems that don't work well. New tech and old tech are mixed and therefore don't work well. Training on new systems and tech is virtually nonexistent. Associates do not feel comfortable reaching out for help above the store manager level due to repercussions.
