What makes you most happy at work?

Commaraderie. I have made genuine friends at my store.

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

To-go shoppers currently take orders from two platforms. Instacart and Spectrum. It is quite difficult for a single employee to satisfy the numbers that are expected and Instacart constantly interrupts Spectrum orders being shopped. It would be better if we had one platform, or more time to shop.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Most of the to-go team works together. Our lead does not. Always takes least amount of work on herself. Leaves hours early. Doesn't work holidays or weekends (busiest times) but is full-time.

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

My co-workers. They are genuinely the biggest reason I stay at my job. I like my boss very much, though. I have not been able to move up. I have watched my co-workers do so, yet I am stuck under a lead that gives the least effort and I don't understand it.
