Upper management is so far removed in experience from the frontline that their attempts to improve work conditions fall laughably short. New policies are ill-conceived and poorly executed. Sales forecasts are an exercise in learned helplessness and significantly depreciate morale.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication and understanding the limits of the human body.
What did you like most about the interview process?
I was made to feel valuable and told I would be working reasonable hours.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Upper management not treating frontline employees with blatant disdain. Also, a decrease in toxic masculinity would go a long way toward a better culture.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
New flavors/products are poorly conceived. Customers often express disbelief that anyone would approve the latest flavor combo. When it inevitably fails, blame is placed on the frontline for "lack of execution."
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Low morale is not conducive to a quality work environment. No one feels heard or appreciated. A management team that treats us like human beings rather than beasts of burden would go a long way toward improving the environment.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Sales forecasts rise far beyond market growth, reducing my take home pay. So while my "base" pay and salea increase every year, my income steadily declines. More stops are added on to my route but then I get reprimanded for my hours increasing. It would help if expectations were realistic.
