High turnover? Long hours, crappy pay etc. Some managers have left due to some circumstances... seems like they can be dismissed for the smallest things even if they've put a lot of time into the company.

As well, it seems during the hiring process it's much different when you get into the branch, a lot of surprises..
It seems as though MT's in the smaller branches have a better opportunity to learn how to operate the business itself in this group. Talking to MT's in larger branches, all they do is write tickets and wash cars. They aren't given the opportunity to learn how to manage A/R's, income, costs, fleet, etc. These people get lost in the shuffle. As for the direction of the group itself, I like it. TD is a motivator, and I like the area managers I have gotten to know. Numbers trump everything else, and managers who can't hack it are forced to leave.
