General Manager Mike Wenglikowski on lessons from the pandemic about being a better employer:
“We really got to see what our team was made of. The business is simpler when things are going well. The pandemic can expose what can and will go wrong. The team proved how good they really are.”
Wenglikowski on evolving compensation structure in the COVID era:
“The structure of pay has not changed. The organization guaranteed that all employees would make at least 67 percent of their average pay during the worst times and has been even more flexible with time off to accommodate our employees’ needs.”
Digital/BDC Manager Ashley Kanuszewski on how the accelerated shift to digital retail changed staffing strategy:
“We have been aggressive the last three years in building, training and staffing our digital team. We were ready for the shift. Our staff keeps growing.”
