“Sales Manager” - GM Advance Auto Parts Employee Review

Title is sales manager because I’m no longer a GM in my eyes, I’m a sales person who’s highest in charge. I spend more time on the counter, rather than making sure tasks are done, coaching and training sales associates. Maybe that’s because we are forced to run on skeleton crews due to hour cuts. Horrible communication within upper management and departments (left hand doesn’t talk to right hand). Customers are now a second thought to shareholders and employees are even lower. Stores expected to run on skeleton crews while doing the task of a full staff. Lunches are impossible to run and nobody takes them usually. Tasks aren’t completed then criticized for not doing them. Pay is a JOKE, even if you’re a GM... “hire quality staff” for $8.50 an hour... then wonder why we can’t get anyone worth the knowledge they have. Plus once you do, you get MAYBE 5 hrs a week to train them. Constantly changing things that aren’t broken!! THERES MORE... MUCH MORE!!
