Good pay for in-house positions!
If your position is senior enough, you can pressure stores into providing free products!
At least one new employee starts at headquarters every week!
When a manager starts, the handover is conducted by a specialist from another department!
If you request Saturdays and Sundays off, you are expected to avoid going out as much as possible and remain on call. You must be able to provide information immediately whenever requested, and deal with store issues in real time!
The quality supervisor does not check email or manage work, and the department has never held a meeting. Updates on department-related work can only be obtained by asking other departments about the progress!
The company has no operating or management procedures whatsoever. There are many loopholes in the process for transferring products between stores. When asked whether there were operating procedures, the supervisor did not answer; when something goes wrong, subordinates are asked where the procedures are and held responsible!
Managers use their positions to pressure stores into providing free computer backpacks and phone screen protectors!
There are problems with the monthly inventory counts at stores every month. The true situation only comes to light when a store is closed, and the store manager or inventory staff who take over may end up being unlucky and held responsible!
The biggest takeaway was learning how to fabricate things and stubbornly pressure the original manufacturer into providing free display props!
