Review from Admin Dept

less redundant training and policies

Review from Operations Dept

The attitude of people , better team building practices and activities.

Review from Admin Dept

More communication would be a plus the pay needs to be evened out . Background checks of not more than just the state you work in .

Management and leadership Equality they have a great team just no Leadership. A real leader puts his workers in a position to efficiency perform at their best Safely stress free Environment. Yard and warehouse very Unorganized. Weekly discussion on safety and How to improve workplace.

The general Manager and Assistant general Manager

General manager/ assistant manager/ senior salesman

General manager/assistant manager sales manager change needs to be made in Walla walla

Employees doing their job duties and not doing side projects while at work

The location could use morning meetings. Compensation. A bad stuck up attitude at the branch by management treating employees poorly.

Hire GM's that care about the workers and the jobs given and to make sure things are being done correctly. I think a good GM can really bring in good customers if he has a good organized work team which will in return bring in the money for the company.

The manager ask any employe

Management not just listening to problems, but acting to address them. Following up on them to make sure there are actual changes.

bad attitudes, no matter how good people are taken care of in this company they seem to take their personal lives and bring it into the work place and take it out on everyone working around them. pretty disrespectful
