Although this is a fast-paced environment, I enjoy the laid-back atmosphere I work in. The people make this a great place to work.

I am fairly new to the company and have been welcomed not only by my team but other internal teams as well. I appreciate that we do not seem to have silos either.

Very positive experience overall however silos still exist that can be detrimental at times

I love working for Hoshizaki. I hope to remain here the rest of my career. I'm thankful for the opportunities that I have been given here.

The company seems aligned as a whole.

Get rid of the "good old boy mentality" and make this a less toxic environment

Communicate clear expectations, answer emails and give feedback.

Hore actual leaders please stop checking boxes to meet discrimination compliance regs

Insurance premiums partially paid by company.

Have not really used my benefits just yet so hard to say

health, bonus and 401K package

Our benefits are top notch. I love that we get bonus twice a year.

A higher base salary to be in line with the market

I don't necessarily feel undervalued, My salary is lower than most in my position across the surrounding areas. I work very hard and am thankful for my salary but would like if it was more in line with industry standards.

We are a very aligned team and always willing to help one another if needed. We are lead by a wonderful manager and director

We help each other whenever needed.

We are all very aligned. We support each other and are lead by two amazing managers (Purchashing Mgr and Purchasing Director)

Positive Group willing to help each other if needed

I have the best team. I know that I can count on them to complete the request thoroughly and well. I appreciate their hardwork and dedication to Hoshizaki

Become more proactive and less reactive in their job responsibilities.

They need to be more proactive

stop playing games between departments. There is a silo mentality here that needs to be abolished.

My problem is not my team but how other teams interact with us. Very hostile actions against my team.

Better communication, more proactivity, responsiveness, break silos across the various departments

I think everyone treats each other with kindness, integrity and respect

The employees are a priority.

People are friendly and welcoming. We have a diverse group of people

The ability to back each other up and communicate across cross functional teams

Hoshizaki tries to make it truly the best place to work, It's like a family here. We come here to do our jobs, but it's nice to have an environment that feels like home.

Become more responsive to market changes. Hold toxic managers accountable for their actions

treat everyone the same , do not discriminate

Consider reality when committing to customer requests. We just say yes to everything and work people to death to meet the goal

Our executives need to change their mindsets and look for new ways of doing things. The "good old boy" network needs to be replaced. People are not motivated by free ice cream and silly parades, they want to be treated fairly and given opportunities to grow. New ideas also need to be emraced by mgmt

Team working, less silos, better communication, need to transition to the mentality of a larger corporation

My team. I also enjoy the work I do and my interactions with our great suppliers as well. I also really enjoy working with the engineers too

Getting my job done. It's a good feeling to be part of the big picture.

I enjoy my role and the team I work with

Resolving problems and contributing to the financial success of the company

Completing things that I know have a positive impact to the business.

Less micromanaging from managers, try to understand what motivates employees and structure jobs instead of trying a "one size fits all approach. Managers here try to put square pegs into round holes. Most people in my group are miseable

company policies do not match the actions. Have some integrity

I am not using any of my skills since we are constantly in a fire fighting mode. Change goals and provide ones that are realistic. Eliminate the toxic environment created by upper management

Lack of planning, lack of communication and teamwork between departments, and lack of adequate resources to do our jobs correctly. Everything there is a fire drill due to lack of planning and lack of communication

management was obviously hired based on the need to check a particular box for discrimination purposes. Hire great leaders do not promote someone taht has little to no idea how to manage and do NOT allow management to hire their friends to work directly under them..
