I know what to do and how to do it, but having to do so while fighting chronic pain makes the job so much harder!

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Thanks to local unions, things are well lined out and actually focused more on employee welfare rather than survival.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

I'm on my feet all day, and have to take prescription painkillers just to make it through six hours. Couldn't we have a chair?!

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Communication is abysmal, the managers never seem to be on the same page! I was also forced to start early and never completed my training. No wonder these guys are short-staffed...

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

My coworkers are actually pleasant people, not much to complain about. There's one guy who is deaf; I wish he or someone else we work with would tell me how to communicate best with him.

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

There isn't enough room in here to list all the problems! No living wage, chronic pain and debilitating stress due to a disability nobody believes I have, customers treating me like garbage, getting my training cut short and then forgotten, mixed/conflicting messages from management...
