What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

There was nothing positive about that place. It needs a makeover.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Better management. Instead of MODS talking ABOUT employees to other employees talk to your employees. This was Jr high all over again.

What did you like most about the interview process?

She asked good questions, she said it could turn into full time however you get 35-37 hours so you'll never, ever qualify for benefits.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I feel under valued because I was treated like just someone to push buttons. Also, a former MOD told customers that I was a "dirty girl". What do you think my value was?

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Getting breaks on time, allowing you to take your breaks in a timely fashion. Stop laughing when employees are afraid of them. When you call for a 99 make them come up. I waited a long, long time. When I called again I was told never to call for help twice.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Like instated, no rude remarks, NO driving employees to tears. I'm not the only one they do this too. Maybe have immediate "mods" do actual work instead of gossiping in the break room. Also allow your employees to go to the restroom BEFORE it's too late. STOP GIVING US 38 HOURS WITHOUT BENEFITS.
