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

There is absolutely nothing positive about it.

What did you like most about the interview process?

When I was interviewed, it was 20 years ago and things were a lot different then. We had competent managers and staff, not like today.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Over the years, the company has gotten progressively worse. Programs and policies are constantly changing with no advance notice or follow-up communication/training. Heads roll all the time; there's zero job security.

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

My management position was recently combined with another management position, which means my workload was doubled and I'm now doing the job of two managers. I was compensated a whole dollar an hour!

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

Due to recent company changes and budget cuts, the morale of my co-workers is at an all-time low and no one cares if they do a good job, if they show up for work at all.

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

The only way I can see to improve the work situation is to hire qualified management at both the store level and corporate level. Promote from within, rather than pulling in someone from the outside who has no experience with this type of business.
