Horrible culture

Never enough. Change direction every week. Plan your week based on how crazy the Retail VP message is. All we do in stores is ensure he has a good story to tell to his boss. Who is another old school joker. Ever thought about creating a good... — read more

Headcount Vs Store Quota

If a store has a quota $50,000 and there are 5 reps, each rep would have an individual target of $10,000 in that particular month to meet target. Now let’s say 1 rep gets terminated due to a pip and the store only has 4 reps. Their individual target... — read more

Restructure Inbound

Expect to see your Director and Sr Director that much less often. (if they even make face, ha!) Unfortunately for any Ops analysts, they aren't being backfilled so now they gotta pick up the slack.

Frontline beatdown

How many Frontline workers yesterday in the face the outage were bitched at for metrics? Still should be pitching second number and new lines on quotes! Use this as an opportunity! Disgusting

Where art thou leadership?!

After getting battered and beaten on the front lines by angry mobs of customers due to the network outage, why has there been ZERO communication from upper leadership? Easy to not care I suppose when it’s not all in your face.
