What did you like most about the interview process?

My manager was laid back, but up front about what he wanted.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

communicating with each other respectfully (instead of using bias to get their way)

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

Two of our team leads LOVE animals and love educating people about them. They make the day much better.

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

We need support. We need more people so we can have three people per shift instead of two, sometimes one (if someone calls out, it's even more work).

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

My compensation is good for ONE person. However, because I am expected to be in three places at once, it isn't enough to keep up with the damage my body and mind are taking.

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

Our customers see that we are short staffed. They see that one cashier is getting fish for a group of people while they wait to be checked out. We can't keep great customer service if we can't provide it.
