Review from Operations Dept

Review from Operations Dept
The worst company to work for, blatantly doesn't care about their employees. There's an air of disconnect between corporate and store level. Constantly cutting hours nessisary for proper coverage and proper stocking. Our stores have never been busier or understaffed.
Review from Operations Dept
Provide effective, consistent support and not solely criticism and demands. Be solution focused. An ally. Your managers do not need constant handholding and micromanaging in areas that they should have autonomy; schedule, hiring etc. Especially when they consistently exceed corporate sales targets
Review from Operations Dept
I feel that the leadership team needs to pay more attention to why the turnover rate is at an astronomical high, and pay more attention to field and market management. Training for store personnel is nil to nothing, single shift coverage is not acceptable or safe.Background investigations needs help
Review from Operations Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Medical , stocks are great
Review from Operations Dept
So damn cheap in everything they do and so much about really milking the customer for every penny

Regular pay unless they change payroll systems again.
Review from Operations Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
We put our lives on the line every night for minimum wage. The only people more likely to get shot on the job than convenience store workers are police officers, but at least they get body armor and are allowed to defend themselves.
Review from Operations Dept
Higher pay rates, better time off, and better schedules.
Review from Operations Dept
The company expects you to do the job of 2 people while not providing you the resources to accomplish this. They don't compensate for the lack of staffing.
Review from Operations Dept
Despite all evidence to the contrary, managers are berated, belittled and functioning under the weight of unpredictable offenses depending on the day that you had.
Review from Operations Dept
Well considering $9.00 an hour to start is barely a living wage for anyone these days, especially considering the amount of work is required. Also, you might want to promote within, rather than passing up for promotion. No one feels good when they feel like they?

They are engaged They are willing to help They strive to be the best We are competitve
Review from Operations Dept

Review from Operations Dept

Review from Operations Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
They take you by promising something and do something exactly opposite.
Review from Operations Dept
It was a very engaged interview Met several people throughout the process All very supportive and helpful
Review from Operations Dept
The laid back nature it was conducted. Overly formal interviews add to stress and as a result cause interviewees to no showcase themselves as well as they could in more relaxed environments.
Review from Operations Dept
It was simple and quick
Review from Operations Dept
The hiring manager was very friendly and polite. She didn't make me feel nervous or anxious. She made me feel welcome there. And she hired me on the spot! And told me that if I gave her 3 good months that she wants to move me up to assistant manager.
Review from Operations Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Managers are so desperate for help that they will often hire the first person that comes in looking for a job.
Review from Operations Dept
I never had an interview honestly. Since most stores in the coastal Carolinas are so understaffed, typically managers don’t have much time for interviews and are already so stressed out that they just end up hiring anyone to have another body in the store... sad, b

Review from Operations Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The customers resent each other. There are homeless people everywhere.
Review from Operations Dept
Hire more people and pay employees better. Notice and praise good work done as well as poor work performances should be notices and addressed appropriately. Balance the schedule fairly and stop overworking willing employees until they become jaded with the company.
Review from Operations Dept
Require customers to wear masks, give the stores proper hours to accommodate staffing requirements, competitive pay and incentives.
Review from Operations Dept
The pervasive and standard Company attitude of money above all else. Employees are inconsequential and treated as such. The lack of support from management is sorely lacking.
Review from Operations Dept
More oversight on field management, and Human Resources needs help, and need to at least train managers in Human Resources basics. Don’t offer benefits if you really don’t want to give them. That’s a cheap way out, and not fair to employees. No benefits pack
