Little work - Duct Installer Event Network Employee Review

I love working at EN because there is always something new to expand my knowledge of the business and I’ve found it’s a very supportive environment. I’ve always felt supported and appreciated by my bosses at this company. There are always new challenges to creatively solve. I always leave my store feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Mostly part time for all team members below AD which can make hiring a challenge

I get paid. I like my immediate coworkers

Horrible communication, upper management does not actually listen to concerns. They'll tell you they're listening but their solutions are always the opposite of what we need or not actually fixed in practice. Purchasing is incompetent, visuals too. Why is a retail job so corporate? Why am I dealing with a very hypocritical (team first but unhelpful to us, planet first but waste plastic constantly and love AI, integrity but go back on their word, store quality but can't actually listen to what stores need) corporate management doing FUNdamentals and weekly synergy meetings just to sell dumb tshirts to tourists? They're in way over their heads and keep buying more and more businesses to expand when they can't even handle the ones they have. I literally only still work here because of how bad the job market is but I've hated every second of it and have been actively looking for other jobs for over a year
