It seems like the managers with the most outrageous behavior got promoted. Actually worked with other Assistants who screamed at associates, treated customer's rudely, talked down to peers, bullied, verbally abused and made people cry and actually walk off the job. When person got promoted to store manager, it was time to go. This person got written up numerous times for his behavior but still got promoted to store manager. Doesn't anyone take these abusive complaints seriously? DMs always looking to criticize, bully and find things wrong rather than build up morale and actually address issues to support staff. Management tactics like you'd find in the 60's. If you made one mistake you were labeled and micro-managed in hopes of making your life miserable enough to want to leave. Most unprofessional group of management that I have ever worked with in retail career of 15 years. Associates worked like dogs for the mostly minimum wage they were paid and not respected or praised on top of that. Very bad morale. People actually cried when I left cause they didn't know how they were going to handle it with the crazies in charge left behind. No team work among store management & very dysfunctional in the way people were treated. Ridiculous amounts of manpower put into upper level management visits. Upper level management did not have a clue how things were really done because everything was so shining and perfect when they visited.
