What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Communication, recognition, and consistency could certainly be prioritized more. Keeping disagreements or mistakes private and out of the public eye to save potential humiliation would also be greatly appreciated, and leaning away from favoritism and hypocrisy could benefit the entire team.

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

I was originally hired under the promise of being a full-time employee, and have since had multiple check-ins to confirm that those preferences are still accurate. My preferences have stayed the same, but I am consistently shorted the hours needed to be full-time due to lack of schedule consistency.

What are some of the best things about your team?

I love how personable my coworkers are, and how genuinely a lot of them seem to care and have each other's backs while in the work place. Most of my coworkers are very hard working, and get things done well and accurately. It helps the environment feel more lively, and less like brick walls.

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

Sarah Q. is one of the best assistant managers I've had the pleasure of working with. She carries positivity and light from the moment she steps into the building, and goes out of her way to recognize multiple members of her crew for their hard work. She's a hard worker, and wonderful with costumers

What makes you most happy at work?

Being recognized for the good work I am doing, instead of only being recognized for the mistake I made. Being able to have little moments of connective humanity, instead of just being "A Machine At Work." Being able to connect with my coworkers in momentary chat makes the shift a lot more joyful.
