What would you improve about your company's interview process?

Ask better questions related to being a team player and delivering top notch customer service

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Paying people more or giving them paid time off so they can recover mentally and physically

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Coworkers usually want to leave early and not help out when we're busy. When we're slow they don't help out much in the store

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

Not much.. I used to feel that I was on the road to getting promoted but the management turnover was so profound that I could not prove myself enough

What makes you most happy at work?

Being able to go to work and do a great job getting my customers their items. I have a core group of regular customers that I look forward to seeing and chatting with for a minute or two. I think they like that interaction

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

I work 32 to 40 hours a week average. I'd like to be treated like a full time employee with PTO and benefits. I feel like as soon as I got the threshold for yearly average they will cut my hours so they don't have to pay benefits
