Review - werkgeversreview Senior Area Operations Manager bij Winmark

• Individuals can grow both personally and professionally in this role • Great benefit package for employees (and families where applicable), helping demonstrate their focus on people • Numerous growth opportunities and ability to explore the path that suits your career goals and interests – no two leaders took identical routes to build success • Ability to positively impact local communities across North America while supporting franchisees in their personal goals

• Travel is not always smooth or easy – as is the travel world – but knowing you can partner with your leader should there be issues helps alleviate the stress • The benefit package is a huge strength, continuing to review for areas of opportunity that align with staff needs is always ongoing and should continue

The health benefits are amazing and cover almost everything, which is a huge plus. Another great perk is being able to keep all of the points and rewards earned from booking travel.

Internal promotion raises are extremely low and often well below what the company offers external hires for the exact same role. HR is aware of the disparity and will openly acknowledge that outside hires are paid more. There’s also little opportunity to provide feedback upward, as there is no meaningful way to evaluate management. Additionally, the PTO and sick time policies are disappointing and feel more in line with retail-level benefits than what would be expected from a corporate position.
