Low pay, dead end with no opportunity for advancement. Every second of your day is timed and micromanaged. Unrealistic "goals." Time off cannot be requested during peak months. Very strict attendance policy. Currently very understaffed, months of overtime for full time employees. Many are quitting.

Most coworkers are pleasant and helpful.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Currently, the ability to work from home. I hope this option always stays available.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Treating employees like people instead of robots. Better training. Training is too short and rushed. Better support to employees on the floor.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Low pay, seasonals kept under 40 hours so benefits don't have to be given, strict attendance/time off policy, expected to handle contacts in under 5 minutes with no time between contacts. Low employee retention rate could be improved by offering better pay and work/life balance.
