Store Manager at Tire Kingdom
in Gulfport, MS

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Complete disregard for the personal lives of store level employees"

What do you like about working at Tire Kingdom?

"Company financially stable. I enjoyed the work that I did. Decent benefit package."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Sift through the information. Speak to several other managers and associates before making the commitment. Ask specific questions about minimum hours and corporate recruiting."

What don't you like about working at Tire Kingdom?

"Required to work 60 plus hours per week. Micro management of store level management by mid level managers. Expectation of store level employees to perform marketing tasks that should be completed by the corporate marketing department. Working 10-14 hour shifts without the ability to take a lunch period. New regional manager installed having no training or personnel skills. She was inept at best. Little to no advertising for monthly sales events."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Start treating your employees like you would want to be treated. Stop the 5 conference calls per day. Stop berating your employees through abusive and offensive language. Get the human resources department to expedite recruiting efforts. Allow for adequate help to relieve key holders, allowing them to take their federally required lunch period. Do not install a store manager until he/she has been with the company for a minimum of 6 months and taken the corporate management training courses in Florida. Spend some money on non -mail advertising in the smaller markets and not rely on grass roots efforts as they take the manager out of the locations causing sales and customer service to suffer."
