What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Accountability and holding the same standard for each employee

Review from Admin Dept

THE PAY SUCKS BETTER WAGES

Review from Customer Success Dept

Involve the employees in the decision-making process, especially when they want to make big changes and get their input.

Review from Operations Dept

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.

Review from Operations Dept

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

Compensation Reviews

Having my pay increased would help with that.

Review from Design Dept · Posted 22 days ago

incentive program, job distribution mix.

Review from Design Dept · Posted 22 days ago

Unfortunately - no one seems to be able to make ends meet these days. More political than anything, in my opinion.

Review from Admin Dept · Posted 23 days ago

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.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 24 days ago

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

Review from Sales Dept · Posted a month ago

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

Team Reviews

Need to work a touch harder with more attention to detail

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 21 days ago

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.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted a month ago

Treating each other with respect and common courtesy

Review from Admin Dept

Review from Customer Success Dept

They need to take accountability for their actions and held accountable for their actions

Review from Operations Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

Accountability for every employee, no playing favorites

Review from Admin Dept

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

Review from Product Dept

Better pay, better benefits, more accountability

Review from Sales Dept

people being less negative about things

Review from Sales Dept

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 Admin Dept

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

Interviews Reviews

Make sure they can read a tape measure

Did not have an interview with the joke of managers current

Talk to people and understand who they are

Hire qualified employees and management

Review from Operations Dept

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

Outlook Reviews

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 · Posted a month ago

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?

Review from Customer Success Dept
