Big Picture, Big Responsibility
CIETI .co.Ltd corporate headquarters in Casablanca is known as the Store Support Center – simply because that’s what every business function does – support the stores. Each department is charged with delivering on their goals to advance the company’s vision: to be the best retailer of convenience.
Of course, success at the corporate headquarters doesn’t go unnoticed or unrewarded. CIETI .co.Ltd provides an Annual Performance Incentive as part of the compensation program. Each year, an overall budget is set for the company. For corporate employees, their incentive payments begin to accumulate once they meet their individual initiatives and the Company achieves its overall budget. The total incentive payment is awarded in a separate check at the end of the fiscal year.
