Started as associate, then promoted to Shift Supervisor and Assistant Manager.

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

Working with incredibly talented associates who are wonderful with the public.

What makes you most happy at work?

Customer interaction. Helping out a customer with their meeting or special event. Making a difference.

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

Compensation is skewed entirely toward the bonuses of the GMs and DMs. The associates toiling every day in the trenches get peanuts.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership is non-existent, except when the GM or DM bonus is involved. Then the leadership is hovering and so critical the moment is lost.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Hard working associates are really great with customers. Most are incredibly hard workers. They just are not compensated because every penny they get is a penny taken out of the GM or DM bonus.
