  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    100% undervalued and under paid. Again when you have worked for a company twice, busted your butt, covering shifts, doing overnights, appointed temp. Lead multiple times, no call is and very flexible then some 16/17 yr old hands in an app., you hear the start pay is $2 more than what you get. WOW
