Here are some of the answers:
I'm leaving, tomorrow is my last day. I'm leaving because of poor management district-wide, nasty attitudes in my store, and toxic business practices in the entire company. They say we're important, but cut our hours while piling on projects and work, then cut our hours when we can't make money because we're spending all our time getting those projects done. They laid off thousands of people they said "were important to us" only months before, after saying they wouldn't be doing layoffs. Between that and being promised "upward movement" which never happens, it's not exactly a great company to work for. Pity, since I love books and my customers.

Declining management that is demoralizing and the lay off of experienced workers that resulted in a customer service decline in the store
If you leave its either going to be because you were recently laid off, your store closes, or you dont. have a good store manager.
Low pay, no advancement, hard to please management, no benefits in terms of insurance for part time, drains you and spits you out, Dayforce, constantly cuts hours, schedule is all over the place, cafe crumbling and unwilling to fix which leads to frustrated and angry clientele.
Poor pay, horrible management, no advancement to move up unless your kissing up the management, worse place on earth to work at!
Unfortunately some of the management staff and higher ups have become somewhat of a toxic environment, despite the love of my work itself it appears that there is little to no true advancement within the company let alone the store itself. Frequently over the past few years any positions in management that have become available have all been filled from outside of the store, and outside of the company itself, with little true consideration for the internal applicants who already know half of the training required to do the job properly.
