"The people who work within the corporate office are lost when it comes to running a company many of the policies are not relatable in the real world. The changing needs (coupons/ deals) of customers is not being met. There is a severe lack of proper training not just with employees but with upper management. Also specific needs to stores is not considered, open concept stores are not suitable to many locations, often loss prevention issues are not considered when it comes to store concepts. Also the human resources department is biased often ignoring the needs of the associates in favor of the wants of upper management."
