My suggestion is...instead of going through the whole hiring process and find out they were not a good fit, Shopko should look at going through a temp agency. Once the temp is out on the floor and actually doing the job both parties will discover if it is a good fit or not with out investing all that time in the hiring process."

What don't you like about working at Shopko?
"Our manager doesn't have a clue how to organize people - and our assistant manager hasn't been well-trained and is delegated too many jobs to be good at any of them! Some of the personnel are too physically handicapped for the job. The warehouse is WAY TOO SMALL for the volume of inventory and needs an updated method for unloading trucks and basic material handling."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"I would have meetings each shift with my employees, and have an organized strategy each day to accomplish what needs to be done. I ask for suggestions from my employees and implement them if they are appropriate and/ or helpful. I would invite the Regional management to visit when it is most chaotic and demand action, not words! I would pay my employees enough to limit turnover, in order to keep the experienced personnel in my store-and utilize their experience to train the un-experienced. I would delegate certain areas in my store to specific personnel - they would be responsible for their areas - but also be cross-trained and taught to work as a team."
"Shopko was a temporary job that I did not enjoy. Primarily I didn't enjoy it because I don't like retail. Most of my managers were ok to deal with, only one that I would enjoy seeing again. The working conditions were average, nothing absolutely terrible but not particularly great, but that is retail."
"I don't enjoy working here."
"I've worked with Shopko since 2011. I've truly enjoyed working within the merchandise and replenishment areas as the leadership of the teams is strong. The company has a new CEO in which, I believe, will increase the strength of leadership in the remaining areas of the business, such as Space Planning and Store Operations."
"Too many expectations and work load. Lack of training hours for new members. Pay scale doesn't match the average put on company website. Pay doesn't match expectations of the job.Unclear of company direction. Not giving raises and making cuts to payroll hours."
"Under paid and under appreciated. There are no/minimal raises or bonuses regardless of your performance."
"Good place to gain experience & get a paycheck, but not a good place to hang all your career hopes on. There is not a lot of movement upward. When there is, the pay does not reflect it. Definitely not good for a long term plan. The teamwork, culture & atmosphere are not things that management care about at the stores or in the corporate offices. You're really there for a paycheck & to make management look good."
