Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

My experience has been great up until a few months ago when our VP left and the department has become very divided. I see that younger co-workers are favored and get to have more freedom than others and choose the time the work and the days they want to come in. Promotions given without degrees.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

Great benefits, they can definitely improve on pay. Used to be a great place to work in my department, but with all the turnover in upper management it has been hard. The new VP is very unrelatable, and keeps the team divided and is not friendly to their employees. Talks openly about them to othe

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

Hoshizak is a great place to work and with great benefits. However, in my department, work-life balance is poor. During month &quarter end close I am working until almost 10pm every night trying to meet our close deadline. This is why remote working full time would be beneficial and productive

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

The company was great years ago when I started. It seemed they cared about their employees. With all the management changes the company has become one of the worst places to work. No one cares about the employees anymore and no one cares about their work/life balance.

What makes you most happy at work?

When I get to see a friend/co-worker.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Low insurance premiums and deductibles.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Everyone works well together, and they help each other out

What are some of the best things about your team?

Everyone supports each other and is always willing to help.

What makes you most happy at work?

If I get to see the few co-workers that I trust.

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

I don't even know. Just too much of a high school clique.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

They care for the employees and do what they believe is best for the employees.

What makes you most happy at work?

sense of achievement and sense of responsibility. Having stuff to do to keep me busy.

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

I am not paid to match the market. Better pay would make me feel better.

What makes you most happy at work?

I enjoy working from home because I am more productive with less interruptions and I can concentrate better.

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

Employees needed to be treated fairly. Also, the whole team should not be punished for the few that do not do their jobs.

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

The company as a whole seems pretty good. I see many changes to help hourly employees with childcare and for the most part everyone seems nice and helpful.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

The leadership team apparently is trying to make this the best place to work. I just think there is a lot of improvements internally that need to be addressed.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Get back to wanting to be the best place to work. Care about work/life balance for their employees and cut out retaliation for reporting issues, medical problems, not being part of the clique.

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

The pay is no even close to the cost of living these days. Pay increases are very minimal. You almost have to leave the company and come back to get higher pay.

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

I feel like some of the upper management (i.e. President and VP) may have more interest invested but departmentally that is lacking. Benefits are excellent and I love the remote working, just wish it was 100% remote.

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

I am a salaried employee and have been working 12-14 hours a day and I do not receive overtime pay or comp time. I am now being told I Have to use my PTO time for everything.

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

Again, no work/life balance. Salaried employees should not have to use PTO time when they don't receive overtime pay. The high school clique mindset needs to go away. Hoshizaki and the executive team and management needs to start caring about their employees again.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Relate with their direct reports and not talk openly about them behind their backs for everyone to hear. That is very unprofessional. Support working from home/hybrid. Understand that cost of living is high and give raises to help employees afford to support their families, afford groceries & gas

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Employees need to be appreciated. With all the changes in management the values of the company have gone out the window. No one care about work/life balance anymore. No one cares about the employees anymore. Hoshizak America is not the same company I started working for years ago, it's worse.

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

I like that we can work remotely 3 days a week, but it is more productive for us to work remotely full time. Accounting is the only department that is limited to when they can take vacation time due to month and quarter end close and inventory. A benefit to offset that will be full time remote work
