Organizational Structure The organization is divided into three divisions: food, toys, and supplies. Each division has its own product development, merchandising, marketing, sales, supply chain, and retail operations department. Although some of these departments collaborate on major projects, such as nationwide marketing campaigns, they usually work independently. The company also has other departments that cover all three divisions, such as Human Resources (HR) and Informational Technology (IT). The Manchester and Denver offices are headed by the vice presidents (VPs) of each location. Most of the remote workers report to the VP at Manchester, although a handful are associated with the Denver office as well. Each office has its own divisional and departmental managers, and although these managers are given some independence on how to manage their teams, most decisions must be approved by their VPs or the executive leadership in Manchester.
