Fast-paced, unforgiving, petty, more physically demanding than my years in banquet serving
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Don't bother trying to bring up any criticisms regarding the way the store and company function, it will be labelled as "unneeded negativity"
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
There's no communication between shifts, and because the store is always open and we operate with such a small staff, there's never team meetings.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
You can't expect someone to run around on their feet for 8 hours straight with no breaks and then also not cover orthotics in their insurance plans, you have to invest in your people for longevity if you want skilled&happy workers.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
You are not the company, criticisms of the company and the way it functions has nothing to do with you as a person. They are a contract, a job, a paycheck, you don't owe them any more than what they pay you for.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I've never once spoken to someone from Human Resources, let alone met them. Former coworkers have tried reaching out about managerial issues and either played phone tag for weeks and gotten nowhere, or told "they're the manager, it's their store to do with as they please."
