What I wish was different
I wish there had been more communication between national, district, and store leadership goals; there was a lack of understanding between people who were higher-up on the managerial hierarchy and regular associates who had only just started.
Similarly, there weren't many opportunities for levelling up and gaining new job responsibilities, though that may have been more a result of my part-time status than anything else.
I also wish there had been more consideration for the circumstances of individuals in regards to scheduling. There are not many occasions in which I would know two weeks ahead of time of minor family circumstances that require my attention.
I also wish there had been more employee training with new hires. When I first started on the job, I found it very confusing wandering around the store and finding items that needed to be picked was both an impossible and beyond arduous task. Not being able to find things for half an hour only for them to be discovered in a completely different area than where you were trained to look is incredibly frustrating.
