I don't know the leadership team
My DM came up in the ranks and understands our issues. The only reason I still work here
They are typically decent human beings

What does the leadership team need to get better at?
If you apply for a full-time job, well that's what we should get they put you on the schedule and you find out you have 12 hours. I'm home my son's in the army. I have bills you think the manager would tell you that you're not getting 40 hours you think archer would tell you that nope I think Dollar
Communication, realistic expectations, work life balance, micromanagement, wage gaps
Communication and more explanation on the job. The videos don't do enough on the job description
Making sure there are enough hours to schedule so that no one is working by themselves more than 3 hours, there should be manager or assistant manager in the store from open to close if customers need to talk to them , a lead / key carrier shouldn't have to deal with customer complaints, questions
Better scheduling and better training
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Reasonable for what benefits are offered.
Review from Sales Dept
I work with people who have become close friends, but always left in the dark when it comes to operations.
I believe it is fair for the job that I am required to do.
401k is good with the match
Noting right now used to be better
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
If we were heard and seen as ppl. Alot if changes need to come. Their stuck in running things the old fashion way when times have changed

Corporate leadership doesn't understand the day to day workings of the stores that make the money to pay their salaries!

The safety and cleanliness of some stores are not adequate. Policies and procedures need to be reevaluated. Pay raises need to happen across the board or there will be no one coming to work I fear.
Honestly getting better upper management with a heart would help tremendously
Hold people accountable for the things that they do and they don't do
Stop the top from being greedy and pass a little more to those making their dollars
