Vested Interest:
Fostering An Environ-
ment For Personal
Empowerment And
Opportunity In Stores
Like This One In
Lilburn, GA.
We Credit Our Success To
Over 1.6 Million Associates
Worldwide.
Ask a member of our store management team where they started, and they are likely to
point toward a cash register, a store aisle or a stock room. The fact is, 76 percent of our
store management started in hourly positions. Thanks to our practice of internal promo-
tion, thousands of associates were promoted to management positions last year alone.
We need talent to fuel our growth. Next year, we project we will create more than 120,000
jobs worldwide, and there’s a very good chance that those who slip into a vest will be
with us for a lifetime.
