to a series of events, lack of communication, poor leadership within the company I've decided to resign from my sales associate position at CWonder. I find it rather odd and discomforting that
I submitted a complaint regarding poor quality in some of your management staff and I was not checked back with. I am confident that I am too qualified for my position to sit and have my job
threatened in whispers.
Due to the fact that this company lacks an adequate performance measurement system in order to monitor associate metrics, it is difficult to keep track of the impact that your team is making.
Measurements, such as individual sales, conversion, and contribution, which would typically indicate the strongest members of your team, are non-existent. Therefore, when it is time for
restructuring, you let go of your leading associates rather than the less dedicated who plans on leaving as soon as they find something better across the street. Of course, CWonder is owned by
a millionaire and associates are a dime a dozen, so I am sure you will survive, but at what cost?. I am sure that Chris Burch enjoyed his box seats at the super bowl, while his "team" of
employees that keep the store afloat were picking up extra hours to exceed store plan to make his success possible. You will generate new employees but will they be as loyal as your previous?
Will they come prepared with valuable experience allowing them to train others, instead of being thrown in the fire? You had a solid team and you let your most talented members pay for their
time of hire? You have employees risk there lives and well-beings to be part of this dream and promised opportunity to grow with this company and this is how you repay them? You had employees
leave their 30K + jobs to join this horrible excuse of an establishment. It is truly unfortunate.
I'm disgusted with decision making of CWonder's governing body and am truly disappointed in the false hope that has been given to everyone that applied. Cwonder should consider re-evaluating
their performance measures in order to properly and efficientlydownsize their company. Cwonder as a company will not prosper into a respectable establishment unless you know who you have
working for you. Your team is full of members that lack management skills, appropriate attire and dedication to the mission that the company stands for. It is full of members that don't care
about growth but only money. I was one of those associates that wanted to grow with CWonder, however now I see that the management team only responds to certain people and grants others their
wishes due to favoritism and prejudice. Racial remarks made by your management team about the Stock room and overnight teams disgust me and further allow me to realize that I am no longer
interested in working with a company that puts product over person.
To hear about a range of inappropriate topics on the sale's floor, including but not limited to management's personal sexual exploits and desires for fellow employees, is beyond unacceptable
and I see it won't stop because associates don't have a voice. There is no evaluation system that would allow for concerns, such as my own, to be raised and or addressed. The unprofessionalism
of the team displays the minimal interest in growth amongst them. I've gone above and beyond for this store and built meaningful relationships with my team members, as have the other members
that you have decided to let go.
I appreciate the opportunity, but I feel that I am better where I am now then where I was at CWonder. Have a blessed day and live long and prosper.
Who is C. Wonder (72 Spring St.)? That would be none other than Chris Burch, also known as Tory Burch's ex-husband, but after a peek inside his new SoHo boutique, I'd say his name will stand on its own two feet soon enough. The boutique's grand opening officially kicks off on Saturday, Oct. 22, with additional doses of awesome including a flower cart, a wheel of wonder, mail carriers, style-spotting bloggers, sweet treats, DJ sets, celeb appearances, and, oh yeah, free gifts with purchase.
The big, bright green doors — marked with an extravagant "C" — give way to a veritable emporium of prepped out, stylized goods. Not to imply that the nonpreppy set won't find something to ogle and love here, because they will. The boutique is "divided" into individual lifestyle shops, and each shop has a specific theme and mood to its profferings. In the entry, you'll land in a Regency-style room dedicated to bags; as you make your way deeper into the depths of C. Wonder, you'll encounter a ski resort, a Palm Springs cabana, an English townhouse, a make-it-your-own personalization corner, and a home decor mecca that fits the bill of the picturesque American dream. It's pretty wild — between the colors, patterns, and general flash of new, shiny things, you'll become ensconced in what Burch calls his, "21st century retailing destination." Word to the wise: make a beeline for the dressing rooms. Let's just say I wish I had one of these in my apartment. To find out what I'm talking about, click through.
