What did you like most about the interview process?

Manager was easy to talk and relate to.

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

I think the most positive part is the mutual respect we have for one another.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Most of us know our roles and get the job done. It makes shifts smooth and pleasant.

What makes you most happy at work?

What makes me most happy is being able to run a smooth shift without feeling like I'm babysitting coworkers or having to constantly remind others to stay productive. Most days are pleasant.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

I do appreciate my manager a lot because she has a great team work vibe. She practices what she preaches and runs a smooth shift. I haven't worked enough with the leadership above hers as much but I do know that numbers mean everything to them.

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

I feel that with my experience and education combined, I am more suitable and qualified for a management role. But because of the culture at Panda, you have to go through the ranks.. which is fine, but there are some manager who cannot speak or read English fluently. It doesn't seem right.
