What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Taking and giving feedback. I see most of my coworkers cower around team leads and managers because their feedback equals severe punishment. The work is getting consolidated to moments right before a visit, or inspection of said work.

Need to staff stores, pushing team beyond limits does not bring sales.
Review from Executive Dept
Everything ...thinking planning not just last min reactions
Review from Business Development Dept
Having realistic standards for push times
Stop promoting your friends who do the least amount of work compared to other team memebers
Review from Sales Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I think a clear breakdown of what metrics are being measured throughout my year. In salary discussions I've been told I'm a stand out employee, but then I receive a subpar raise and am left confused as to what I could improve.

Thinking planning and more hours
Review from Business Development Dept
I feel undervalued because everyday I work I am overworked and the store constantly scales down on workers every year and I’m expected to perform at unrealistic standar
Give new team members stock options.
treated like an employee number not a person
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Stop micromanaging those dojng a good job and ignoring those who dont. Mentor up those who need improvement instead of letting their bad work (or lack of work) slide.
Review from Sales Dept
Again, most of the issues within team dynamics hinges on compensation and accountability. While team members seen as peer leaders are implemented to encourage positive business citizenship, the lack of support from upper executives undercuts most team building behaviors.
I'm morified by the lack of depth of their education. No curiousity, no color to their lives. Bread and circuses. NFL on TV and Taylor Swift concerts.
High executive meetings are non productive. They will tell you how awesome you are in group settings but pay increases are lacking.
Lack of development and growth overall, very coddled employees
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The feedback system need to be reevaluated. The fear of making a mistake robs individuals of the pride that a healthy work environment requires. They want people to take ownership in store, but do nothing to give people that ownership.

Workload needs to be lighter.
Better pay, benefits and a secure work environment.
recognize those that work hard and give them better benefits for being hardworking.
Review from Operations Dept
Have leadership team work a shift as a regular team member so that they can understand how frustrating their expectations are at times. Maybe they will become more understanding, and see why most team members dislike coming to work.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
There was no face to face exchange whatsoever. the first time I spoke to someone about this job was after I was hired, all other interactions were through automated emails, and digital prompts. Bring back real interviews.

You interview by doing an online taping that is then viewed by the hiring manager. There is no human interacrion until you're hired. Interivew people in person even if its on the computer through video chat.
Review from Sales Dept
Communication across interviewers in the company for a better candidate experience
It was all online but cant ask questions
Review from Customer Success Dept
No pre recorded videos. Just face to face interviews
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The policies going into place are outdated and don't match with the demographics they are trying to market to, nor the demographics of people they're trying to hire. The Job pool is getting better, and their talent is getting worse.

They want DEI back in stores
Review from Customer Support Dept
Leadership is too focused on metrics, which can be and actually are faked at the store level. The work that is needed for the guest isnt actually being done due to payroll hour cuts-leadership is clueless as to why sales are down. You cant buy whats not on the salesfloor.
Review from Sales Dept
Get better managers, give employees raises, stop rewarding with food and reward with money
soooo many things wrong dont waste your time going there or applying
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
To tone it back on the guest interactions. You can still provide excellent guest services without every employee crowding every guest or pushing the sale on them.
being able to pick up hours
Review from Sales Dept
Seek to understand before jumping to conclusions
Better pay and hours !
