What do you like best about the leadership team?

Leadership Reviews

Retail experience was perfect. They were knowledgable

I have observed how they treat their employees and I'm very impressed.

That they're all about teamwork and making us feel comfortable and doing whatever they can to keep us into help us.They're very dedicated

The female managers were good

Positive praise and constructive criticism

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Acknowledging the needs of there employees and be supportive and communicating. Giving recognition and praise to there workers that work hard to give the magament team there daily production numbers and providing incentives and raises and NOT just keep all monies given by corporate to themselves.

Being supportive to their team nembers and not giving such mean girl energy toward everybody

They expect one person to do work that should be done by at least two

Go by policy and procures for everyone not just some and listen to what is really going on and all the circumstances not just go by what others say and look at the cameras and listen to what both people are saying.

More personable with their employees, empathy, less intimidation. Reducing the "us" vs "them" environment. More opportunities for in house promotion. I have worked there for almost 7 years with supervisory experience and a college degree, have never been offered a higher position than ops.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

Employee discount is the only benefit I use.

I dont know the answer to this

Decent healthcare and PTO. Quarterly bonuses WERE helpful considering the wages.

Insurance was amazing, 401(k) match was also awesome

Having one at all. Vision & dental

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

Compensation Reviews

Inclusivness and better hr better people services

Minimum wage since I started 2 and a half years ago. Raise based on performance

We work very hard for very little pay

Raising the pay for on site attendees

The company needs to pay us what we deserve not just cutting corners for their own benefit.

Review from Operations Dept

What are some of the best things about your team?

Team Reviews

We have been together for years. One member killed himself two weeks ago.work stress

They are hard working and friendly

The friendliness is the most important. Always willing to help in another area if needed.

They work hard, kind, respectful and have fun too

An environment where we all understand one another

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

Team Reviews

I think the co-workers work fine with each other I think some co-workers maybe don't like the way other coworkers work because they don't cut corners again I feel the compensation is right but the honesty and integrity that we're supposed to go by is not

Pretty much up to management

Better training and for employees to be held accountable for their actions and attitudes. It starts from the top its not employees fault its management

Review from Operations Dept

Following the standards and being treated like an equal would be a swell start

Stronger attention to details. Listening to the team and reacting quickly to issues that arise.

Review from Operations Dept

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

Environment Reviews

The hours are the only positive thing

People will say hi to you and will help you out if you ask

Again, it has to be friendliness and the ability to reach out and help in other areas as needed. Love all the different cultures and ages

I liked my customers and i liked hrlping people

Me showing up and getting 13 plus carts done alone and when my supervisors tell me we need four cards by 9:30 and being the one that can come in and get it done

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

Managers need to stop blaming the lower staff when customers get mad about store policies. It's not my fault that you changed your minds every other day on the senior discount and I had people screaming in my face from following orders.

Review from Sales Dept

What did you like most about the interview process?

Interviews Reviews

It was fast and I was hired on the spot

I interviewed 12 years ago. The corporate cancer wasn't a factor back then. Now,if you have a pulse and can kind of walk they hire you knowing that it will fail. When it does the blame comes back to the people working in that department.

I interviewed 12 years ago when this was a good company to work for

Leadership is cooperative and receptive during the process. I felt like the interviewer was genuinely interested in me who's an applicant. She enthusiasticallt gave me a tour.

The manager was nice and personable. The new managers are better but don't have a connection with their workers

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

Interviews Reviews

Hire supeevisors on quality and experience instead of availability

Higher standards for production workers

What makes you most happy at work?

Outlook Reviews

Seeing the other employees when I walk in the door. And interacting during the day.

Being left alone to do my job to the best of my ability

Completing the work doing what they ask of me even though I know it's more than what my job entails and not getting any help and showing them that I can do it and I did it alone

Serving customers and helping coworkers when they need help

That I get to be around my type of people and help people and be productive

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

Outlook Reviews

There are many many things wrong with this company, its impossible to explain in 300 letters.

We could be treated like people and not numbers. Consider demographics more, stop with the back checks, it doesn't make sense we're trusted to meet corporates unrealistic quotas but not trusted to not steal, its extremely bad for morale

Review from Operations Dept

They need to change the culture of the company from protecting those who do not work to actually holding people accountable and actually valuing the criticism of tenured lower management who are struggling to do the work of ten people. But the company DOES NOT TOLERATE whistleblowing.

Review from Product Dept

No marketing or brand awareness

One front end supervisor is condescending. It can be improved by being recognized and addressed by the store manager.

Review from Sales Dept

What do you like best about your company?

Outlook Reviews

Knowing that my work is making an impact not only locally but globally! That's an awesome feeling

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

Outlook Reviews

All this recycling business. There needs to be recycling in the employee's break rooms and front of store. It drives me insane to hear about the amazing difference we are making and then turn around to see plastic bottles overfilling the garbages.
