Medical Benefits are too expensive and pay rates are low
Review from Operations Dept
I am not sure which leadership team you are referring to. However, it seems that upper management (not local) is out of touch with basic business practices... I mean what it takes to make this business work on a day to day basis. The personnel and training to get the work done.

No favoritism, less hiding behind company polices

Having my pay increased would help with that.

incentive program, job distribution mix.
Review from Design Dept
Unfortunately - no one seems to be able to make ends meet these days. More political than anything, in my opinion.
Review from Admin Dept
Annual wage increases that extend beyond the standard cost of living. For example, wage increase that occurred March 2026 was actual 2%. At this rate, the longer I am employed here, the more towards poverty I slide. More to share, please reach out.

Making only $17/hr after working here for five years.

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

There is a lot of negativity and gossip. No support from management as far as having those who are not pulling their weight to do more causing burnout in the others with heavier work loads.

x x x x x

it really needs to start with the leadership team and upper management. Employees need better recognition, there needs to be less micromanagement, and the way management engages with employees needs to improve

Better pay, better benefits, more accountability

people being less negative about things

Again communication. Perhaps having monthly meeting within the office and more morale boosting. Also some positive encouragement instead of always focusing on the negative.

Review from Design Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Better pay for the work. More recognition especially for those, other than salesman, that have been with the company for many years. Celebrate differences at the local level. There is a lot of positivity at the corporate level but not at the local warehouses/yards.
Review from Sales Dept
Either replace the manager or have that individual take some serious classes on how to be one. Issues include lack of confidentiality and professionalism.
Review from Finance Dept
We have some employees here that have helped build this store for many years and are very knowledgeable about how to make a customer happy to return. Those ideas from us should be considered in our everyday operations and not just told that it's not the direction the company is going.
Review from Sales Dept
Management allows favorite employees to do whatever they want without consequences, while holding other employees accountable to the same offenses
Review from Admin Dept
Pay is terrible. See the pattern here?
