I don’t know if this is happening in the entire company, market 15 are hiring former toys r us employees to fill General manager , assistant manager and team lead positions. . The GM at 4774 openly says that he don’t see any talent at Sam’s for promotion so he will be looking for externals to fill key positions. Associates are trying to get promoted but they are constantly shut out. The GM at 4774 don’t have any merchandising skills or operations skills at Sam’s yet he depends on Sam’s employees to help him, at the same time he are not promoting his own employees. The GM of 4774 is also being looked at to be a future DM for Sam’s .
At Club 6369 the club manager is about to retire and a pre selected replacement from toys r us is at the club training to replace him . I believe in getting talent from the outside but I also believe in developing your employees before you leave them in the dark to give an external the opportunity, what is happening in this market?Any comments on this ?
