It's been very enjoyable. Benefits are satisfactory. But things can always improve.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

It's a good enough job. That's what I tell anyone asking about work. There are benefits as opposed to none and slightly accommodating salary. But it's not setting me up for a great future. In the current economic situation, most of us are barely getting by, but we're getting by.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Extra sick time allotted for medical appointments.

What makes you most happy at work?

Feeling valued by my coworkers and teammates.

What are some of the best things about your team?

They have great chemistry. They're real team players

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

Better benefits or better pay.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Mutual understanding amongst the team. We work to reach our goals.

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

We're very fond of the relationships we've built with our customers.

What makes you most happy at work?

Getting to see my coworkers and interacting with my regular customers.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

I'm not sure what I like. We hardly see our leadership team.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

They're very positive and behind making the company the best it can be for everyone, they're just slightly out of touch with what's best for everyone.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Some team members are very thoughtful of the rest of the team and are very inclusive with projects and activities. This isn't to say there aren't cons to the team as well.

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

We need to set all of our baking centers up for success. The way some of them are managed leave employees feeling miserable before, during, and after the workday. They're no longer motivated by incentive because it's so hard to reach. We need clear definitions of roles and priorities to follow.

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

This year, our incentive program has changed. And being in my position. We went from the old incentive to working harder for less money. And the funny thing is we're told it's not a big deal to not hit goals or incentives, but it's then reflected and weighed significantly in our annual reviews.
