STL and certain TLs hire their friends and pre-select people before interviews are held. Openly racist, corrupt, backstabbing liars running this store. Needs a thorough investigation.

Inventory has to be the worst part of the job! The way we go about our system of counting inventory needs to be changed to avoid burning out team members more than they already are. My store doesn't even start counting until 9 or 10pm and there are... — read more

I hear they are now taking new locations that are questionable and building vanilla boxes and not opening them because they are afraid of disappointing sales. Imagine the cost to fit out a store and let it sit idle until sometime in the future when... — read more 

What was supposed to be attrition has turned into a witch hunt to simply fire people. It seems lately that people are getting separated for the littlest things. That cutting payroll seems to be done by trimming the fat at the top.

This is getting ridiculous. The gap just keeps shrinking between hard working TMs who have worked their way up and those that just stumble in. They used to reward longevity but that was back when TM happiness was actually a thing. This kind of joke... — read more

I would like to apply for this position, though curious if they can consider me as an outsider based on company history of going for a-- kissers. Any feedback? Oh, and why is the position open?
