Stop replacing experienced production leadership with ineffective, hyper-surveillance management to mask operational deficits. Seasoned veterans require autonomous execution, not toxic intimidation. Prioritize actual structural competence over metrics if you want to retain top talent

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

The baseline culture and peer-to-peer collaboration that existed prior to the merger. High-performing, veteran teams naturally maintained excellent production standards and mutual professional respect before the operational structure was disrupted.

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

Forcing production teams into unannounced cold-calling loops without training created immediate friction. Customers were routinely confused and irritated by the outreach, severely damaging the brand's reputation and compromising consumer trust

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

Post-merger hiring practices completely disregarded proven industry experience. Onboarding prioritized corporate submissiveness over operational talent, resulting in highly seasoned veterans being managed by individuals with low to no baseline leadership capability.

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

Eliminate the toxic culture of peer hazing disguised as feedback. Coworkers must be trained to deliver objective, metrics-based critique rather than demeaning insults. Healthy collaboration requires professional respect and uplifting peer dynamics, not intimidation.

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

Total compensation fails to account for the lack of work-life balance, high cost of living, and the severe physical and mental depletion caused by unsustainable operational methods. Burnout-heavy environments require significantly higher baseline financial protection.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Prioritize humane leadership. Stop allowing inexperienced management to drive seasoned professionals into operational ditches that break morale, retention, and employee health. Executive leadership must hold management accountable for the physical and psychological safety of the floor.
