Constructive Feedback From Hoshizaki America Employees

  • What does the leadership team need to get better at?
    Communication is horrible. Things happen and employees are never given reasons so they're left to the rumor mill. We are told they read these comments but I don't believe it because people are still unhappy about not being able to work hybrid and nothing has changed, and it's not been addressed.

    They need to be held accountable and work on problem solving and critical thinking skills.
