"For a company that speaks of family and team , had no compassion when my father was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. would not let me take time off without pay to visit him. Upper management would say there are problems but would give no solutions. When transferred to another store the fact that I took a store that never made a profit in 2 years and made money only after 3 months, and made profit every month since, not given the time or support to try to turn new store around ."

"Need to understand that out in the field things don't always go as planned up in corporate offices. They cut payroll at times where I was only person in store for the first hour the store was open, even tho the company policy was to have 2 people in store at all times. Loss prevention people took 3 weeks to take care of internal theft problem, employee actually quit day before they finally showed up."
