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

Have better quality materials. Have better quality UPPER management. Their systems and models are archaic and embarrassing compared to other companies. Get with the times on technology especially.

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

We cannot live on these wages. Reade acts "woke" yet will still allow people to pay employees $10/hour to open-close and be talked down to/harassed by management. I have been told NOT to go to HR for targeted harassment MULTIPLE TIMES.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Stop worrying so much about your own personal advancement within the company. You leave your teams in the dust and get angry when we have to make executive decisions. If you're never on the floor, how can you make the rules? Especially during a pandemic.

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

On top of the 30 day probationary period before someone becomes permanent, they need to screen better. Better questions, more in depth analysis on these people who should know this is a medical office first and foremost. Should be DOCTOR oriented, clean, efficient and professional. No stores are.

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

Nothing to do with the company. They try to throw a free meal once every few months to "boost morale". The only positives are SOME kind customers and some of the staff. We are such a hated company, customers take that anger out on us. They're protected, we're told to endure the abuse for money.
