Because the workload of 1 is the equivalent to 4 other workers and the level of security is unsafe with the current criminal activity
Mangers contantly talking down on me after two and a half years of working at kmart. I woukd feel better if my work was acknowledged and appreciated
For the amount of work we are expected to do the pay should be higher i think

A review that is pegged to things I can actually influence

Everyone is fine except one . Never contributes to anything and never helps anyone
Bring them in and work with them

My coworkers on my level are fine; the majority of my management team dont respect me clearly and undermine me constantly.
The older ladies at Kmart are miserable people who bullying and harass younger team members.

New blood , they need new employees with a positive attitude and decent manners

What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Too interviews for a mid level role - was 3
There wasn't much of a process. As long as the person doesn't have a background, they were hired

Second interviews need to be done

Review from Sales Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
old systems and old people
Leadership is the worst I've seen! Solution: Invest into caring more about your people > They feel valued, work harder due to constant positive encouragement > Better results > New culture encourages better future leaders > even better results. It's so simple.
The bullying and ridicule in the workplace needs to stop.
I think are jobs are undefined. Management uses us in whatever way they want. It could be improved by having certain defined duties
