Next Steps

The next step for this project is to create a prototype to help people better understand what says-us might look like, what it would do.

Here is a link to what I have so far.  Will anyone help me with this?

Here is a current entry from glassdoor and how a similar entry would look on says-us:

Mar 11, 2014    http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Target-Akron-Reviews-EI_IE194.0,6_IL.7,12_IM9.htm :

(Rating of company is 1 out of 5, with a “Disapproves of CEO”)

Pros – flexible schedule.  Met some great people.

Cons – where to start.. I worked on Flow team. the hours are usually at 4am-8, but had a VERY inconsistent schedule. You were always pushed to work faster and harder to get the job done quicker. They were always trying to send us home early. Some days I was there less then 3 hours. I dont wanna get up at 3:30 AM to work for 2 hours! Management was horrible. There are too many etl’s and team leaders, all of them extremely lazy. They seemed to never be doing anything, which made me confused why there was so many. They were all people with college degrees that really were not suited for their jobs. The job was very physical, and I feel anyone on flow team deserves to make more then almost minimum wage. If you are looking to get good hours, do not even consider Flow Team. Overall It was a very bad experience working there, and I definitely wouldnt suggest it to anyone.

Advice to Senior Management – If you are gonna have meetings about “how were gonna work together and improve the store” actually try to do things that improve the store and dint just say it and forget about it the next day. Dont hire leaders just because they have a degree. Promote from within.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I’m not optimistic about the outlook for this company
