Communication, no one ever properly communicates and then managers start yelling at employees for no reason.

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

The coworkers, most of the time it's rather boring and there are dead hours so we'd talk to each other and lighten the mood.

What are some of the best things about your team?

My coworkers were my favorite part about work, most of us were really close and even hung out outside of work. Most everyone from both teams got along and everyone was super friendly.

What did you like most about the interview process?

I was interviewed by our general manager and she was so nice, she made sure i knew they were flexible with things regarding school and if i ever moved i could always transfer to another store, she explained policies and pretty much hired me on the spot.

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

The managers, there are 5 managers for restaurant and 1 for retail, the retail manager was always sitting in her office doing nothing, the restaurant managers were always mean to the retail girls and never wanted to bring us money for our cash drawers, and they would yell at us over the headsets.

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

You're supposed to get a raise every year, that didn't happen. Girls who just started working there were making more than me after i had been there for over 2 years. Managers have favorites and the ones she didn't like she would work to death. The hours were horrible, you'd barely get 20 a week.
