Buying Organization:
- Racist within the organization and racist to vendors and agents
- Your experience at the company is DEPENDENT on the mood and personality and working style of your Buyer/ VP. If you get someone that doesn't match you, you're SOL.
- You're working at least 10 hours a day at a pace that requires 110% of effort out of you everyday because the teams are so understaffed
- Your manager's subjective feedback determines your performance. Yet, only sales and margin determine your manager's performance. See the disconnect here? They are empowered to not give a _ about you.
- They will move you around under different buyers and different areas without notice, without consideration, without asking.
-Super high turnover, you will make friends but they will leave
- What you do and the skills you learn is super niche and the longer you stay, the harder it is to leave the retail/merchandising industry
-Management is shady and they will hide things that don't even need to be hidden
- Poor handling of the George Floyd/BLM movement. Only acknowledged that looting of stores happened in the first 3 days of occurrence
- If you come into the organization requiring different methods of training, they will not provide that for you. They will expect you to fit a mold and if you do not fit it, they will force it out of you or you will feel like you need to leave.
