What is your biggest challenge within your current role?
My biggest challenge is adjusting to the company culture. I was at Nestlé Corporate for six years after college, then moved to Ross a few months ago.
Although it's very similar in many ways, the way they do things is a little different. They have different views on things, and I would say this in a really positive light for both companies.
I would say there's a lot more transparency at Ross, in a productive way. My boss was even telling me this morning that we got a call out because one metric looked a little off. That came from a VP level.
Being that transparent 24/7 is great because I feel like everyone is setting you up for success all the time. It's just an extra step in doing things.
