Does anyone know when managers will start their annual reviews with colleagues?

Someone please explain to me why stores can't interview and hire? The phone hire system is just about the cr-ppiest thing ever. And we're not supposed to interview them when they come in? Do the phone hire people even ASK them any questions other... — read more 

Is it true that signing is going from back of house colleagues doing it to sales associates or front of house associates setting sales ?

Question. Is it true that they want no z bars in fitting rooms and you must put away clothing right away to keep the total number of rods down? Is this a corporate thing or store by store?
