The Company has introduced a LOD program which is basically the same as a racetrack manager at lowes or home depot, main difference is this program doesn't work in smaller stores where there is only one manager/supervisor on duty instead of multiple. the company doesn't recognize talent or reward opportunities like they claim(i've been in the same position for multiple years and passed over for a leadership team position multiple times) they instead headhunt from outside companies for people who have supervisor experience already instead of giving current employees the chance at it. Every month is a new sales gimmick every month is a waste of labor hours to make price changes and the only thing that really changes is the color of overlay and the "banner message" on the price tags. The company has also begun allowing management to be lazy and have all work completed by associates, in a bigger box store like harbor freight is trying to become, this may work but in the smaller stores scheduling 3 associates and one manager/supervisor doesn't allow for one member of the "team" to be absent from accomplishing any tasks or having the associates do all the work( a quote directly from my store manager, "should I as the store manager have to go out and work the sales floor/stockroom?". Work life balance is garbage, logistics employees work horrible shifts that can sometimes last as long as 12+ hours with the lack of staff to work over built merchandise deliveries.
