I feel that TSC has some serious issues at both the leadership role at headquarters, and at the store manager level. The problem is they are not paying their store managers a competitive wage, and are losing them left and right. Forget about what you hear from company documents, turnover is well over what they admit. To be successful, I believe that you must keep your top preforming managers.





Also, this company is way to "top-heavy". Way to much money is spent at the posh corporate headquarters in Nashville...while the stores are understaffed and not adequately supplied with payroll.





Although this stock is trading near 52 week lows. I believe there is many other companies with much more upside than TSCO. Try Citigroup, Tesoro, or Six Flags. Good Luck.

From where do you get your information? Tractor Supply consistently implements new and improved training programs for both store managers and assistant managers. Turnover for TSC it is much lower now than ever before. Payroll in the stores is consistently increased and newer technology is constantly implemented to support inventory levels and improve service at stores, dc's, and the store support center. The company has learned to make the most of every asset, even during difficult economical times. Compare their financials to any other retailer out there and see for yourself .... 10 year store manager.
