Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I have over 10 years of actual experience as a cashier and over 20 years of customer service experience so I feel that my experience is not being accounted for and I am getting paid just minimum wage
I did not get to the point of receiving benefits or other perks!
Review from Sales Dept
I feel undervalued because I continuously exceed expectations, more knowledgeable in the majority of departments, especially curious and involved with all functions, engage all lvls of employees, superior customer service. Wage increased to what my value is, not a capped wage everyone receives.
better pay for doing 6 peoples' jobs
It is minimum wage (+ a few cents per year) and hard work. There is no input in how to do the job, and plenty of plenty of unhelpful feedback with no positive feedback. Everybody is treated like children - yes most of the staff is children but i am not.
What are some of the best things about your team?
My new team thru my job transition are supportive, positve and encouraging
pretty reliable and they get the job done.
I am still new but it seems as though everyone is nice and the owners are very understanding
they are very helpful while on my shift
Review from Operations Dept
The fact that everyone has their specific places within the department that they are best at, which improves efficiency
Review from Sales Dept

Learn English . How can you run a business when you have staff that cant even help the customers ( who pay our wage) find aproduct in their own freakin department
Review from Operations Dept
Teem meetings would be great
Everyone is for themselves around here.
lay pallets down. So when you getting pallets try to throw some extra on the ground so people can pick it up. It can also be considered a mod. Lay pallets for everyone. I hate when its crowded at a pallet section
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
the inclusiveness more events in store for employees

Review from Operations Dept
The open mindedness of everyone
Review from Sales Dept

It has got really bad since HR took over the culture program. Before that we had a leader who was not part of HR who ran it independently. HR run as a box ticking Thank you exercise driven by fear

Cultures isnt why its the makeup if your company its the makeup of your companies..
Better communication with staff members
Change in management and GM attitude.

I liked that it was very casual and confortable
they listened to what i have to say and commented back like a normal conversation
I found the process to be direct and simple
Review from Operations Dept
How it wasnt so much an interview as an introduction to what I'd be doing, the process was very fast. The person interviewing me was genuinely invested in their position, too
Review from Sales Dept
its like an open door policy ,Everybody''s opinion are welcome
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Give you an exact start date..
Review from Sales Dept
demonstrate the actual tasks. 99% of the training was reading the policy book and training manual. They thru me on the floor and said "we are here to help" but were too busy and rolled their eyes every time i asked a question. It forced me to figure it out by myself while customers were waiting
Take time to assess future employees, don't just hire on the spot. Good for prospective employees, not good long-term outcomes.
Give more training to new employees
I waited 45 mins because the manager "Did not listen" when called for the interview. Showing up on time would be nice.
What makes you most happy at work?
Being able to help customers in one way or another.
Taking my breaks between my shift.
The people and atmosphere at the dc
The customers!!! Love interacting with them and for some getting to know them!! Great
Review from Sales Dept

Review from Operations Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
manager again need a people person cant cut down employees in front of customers cant be rude to customers
Everyone needs better people skills
Extremely abusive manager, nothing is done to curb these behaviours.
Management is a big issue. Whole work environment is gone down hill since pandemic
We're not being heard at all

Each and everything is best
I run everything to the way that gives my customers the best experience. High level directors are pleasant to talk to. Lots of opportunity to improve the business and customer service if you care about it.
