The profitability of your store depends on what you do. The livelihood of 120 people depends on what you do and how you do it. If you are good, there are bigger stores and higher-level executive positions awaiting you. Retailing both reflects and determines culture. In the U.S. we live in a consumer society.
Consumer goods are the focus of our labor, our economy, and our collective lifestyle.
Consumer goods have made the U.S. the envy of the world. Because of consumer goods, the retailing industry demands equal opportunity employers. Retailing is the most unifying and common force for the youth of our society. The unifying force of people wanting to look better, feel better, and have better lives drives retailing. This force causes retailers to hire managers and leaders who reflect the diversity of the country.
