They do not care about the people within the business. Consistently look external to employ and a huge lack of promoting from within. When any issues are raised with higher management, you are told ''Its part of the job". Even if you are working way over the Working Time Directive.
What makes you most happy at work?
Colleagues, Site Visits & Remerchandising.
What did you like most about the interview process?
It was a while ago, but I felt wanted by the company before I had the interview.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Please and thank yous go a long way, it's not always about bonuses. However Head of Operations changes bonus payments as she sees fit, which has a direct impact on morale.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Head of Operations needs to have more humility and not be so disconnected from site staff. After all she has had lower positions in the past, she hasn't always been in her Ivory tower.
What are some of the best things about your team?
At site level, everyone works for each other and tries to ensure that people are listened to. Direction from above can sometimes be confusing and muddied, due to a lack of clarity in what is actually expected.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Certain Regional Managers & Regional Operation Managers listen to concerns from lower down the food chain. However there is a tendancy from other more corporate positions to threaten with loss of job, should things not go according to plan.
