Talking to my coworkers about their similiar situations

Review from Sales Dept

The people there and the caring environment

Review from Sales Dept

when you feel "included" in what is going on in your store

Review from Sales Dept

To be able to do my job successfully by meeting customers orders on or before expected delivery. A day without drama and fear

Review from Operations Dept

I think having a steady day is the best, when there is enough work to keep me focused without overloading myself. That doesn't happen very much anymore.

Absolutely nothing makes me happy at work. The entire experience is a nightmare.

Review from Sales Dept

My boss, my fun coworkers.

Helping other teams and being a trusted source of information

Not having to hear/see my coworkers.

Knowing that we succeeding in listening to our customers demands and complying with everything we got to make them happy.

My coworkers are great! They make work enjoyable.

Leaving at the end of the day

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

Part-timers should be able to be offered insurance if they're paying for it employees signing up people for rewards should also receive bonuses like the managers part-timers that have been there a long period of time should not have to share their hours

As a part-timer we should have the ability to pay for insurance through the company also if the managers get bonuses for us signing people up for greater rewards we should also get some kind of bonus as well

Old school is not cool. Remember what Gert wanted and get back to right or your legacy will be destruction of a company.

The products are cheaply made, they do not have a quality

Emphasis on respect and promoting a growth mindset, investment in employees and communication.

Review from Operations Dept

Morale is bad, people are not inspired or motivated to be the best

The list is too long. The company doesn't care about it's original stores. It focuses on babying their new openings and then moves on. Regional managers only care that their numbers are green. You'd have to remove everyone at corporate to improve where it's going. It's Walmart for outdoors gear.

Review from Sales Dept

Many managers and leaders who have no industry expertise

What do you like best about your company?

Flexibility and benefits

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

Get up to speed with technology, new younger millennials leaders and higher pay like TNF
