My Favorite Assignment~Store Planner

When I worked for Wal Mart, they had teams of people called "Store Planners".  I joined their Store Planning team and traveled around to stores setting them up.  We set up the grocery side of the SuperCenter in Coos Bay, Oregon, and then I was a leader in the re-arrange for the store in Bend, Oregon, then traveled to several stores in the Eugene area to make changes.  We worked with teams of people both on contract and current store employees.  Change is hard for employees and customers, however the challenge is exciting to make the move for change while continuing to boost the morale of current employees and to encourage loyal customers.  If an assignment were available in Store Creation or Store Planning, I would be thrilled to lead or join the team!
