Two ex Wal Mart managers used to work in our store. Both of then said they left due to the low pay and lack of respect, and KILLER hours-more than what a Kroger manager would work!
They cant get managers from any other source. Very few hourly employees enter the training program.
Well I'm sure the MGMT training program is just like the Department Leaders training program. Congratulations your hired/promoted, here is your packet, do run your store/department.
They don't even have a department head training program anymore, i was in one of the last classes they offered down in Cincy. They were paying out too much in mileage from what i heard. I live about 90 miles from Cincy and I made bank just doing that.
