The person who is writing this report happened to work for the company for a long time, and is ready to tell you the truth. Yes, some of you have posted some things on this board that have been very true and it's sad to say it doesn't suprise one bit.
This company has been in shambles for a long time, and tried to survive but couldn't. They sold their most profitable entity (Sam's Club's) to get themselves of debt to avoid bankruptcy.
I have seen some of the most ridiculous business decisions throughout the years and it's kind of sad to see a once promising company completley fold and start from Scratch.
I don't feel sorry for the upper management at this company at all. Have you ever received a HUGE paycheck for doing absolutely nothing? We'll a lot of the upper level managers did exactly that NOTHING.
I wish their was a published percentage on turnover rate for this company because records would have been broken. Don't you think it would have been a lot smarter to set your managers and sales reps up for success instead of hanging them out to dry.
I feel really bad for the managers. First of all if you had a wife and kids and worked for this company your probably divorced now. This company took a "Non-Exempt" (saleried) employee to the extreme. It was required to work 85 hours a week 7 days a week. Days Off. Yeah right count the national holidays on your calender and that was your time off for the year. Awesome way to motivate your people and run a successful company?
The sales reps were the people who got really screwed in the whole deal. The company switches to a commission/draw system of pay and cuts hourly. They fooled everybody with this move. How are you supposed to motivate a sales rep to go to work everyday when they're getting paid straight commission and they have no inventory?
Paychecks were messed up constantly. I thought pay day was supposed to be a good day? It's sad to say that it was the worst day of the week when it came around. You never knew if you were going to get a check or if it was going to be right.
Of course your paycheck isn't going to be right when your company has no money. This company doesn't operate in Sam's Clubs anymore a company by the name of SC. KIOSK INC (subsidiary of Radio Shack) bought them out. The funny thing with this company is that it's really Wireless Retail with a different name. How can you expect a new company to be successful with the same executives who ran Wireless Retail into the ground. Answer that question.
