Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They mostly seem helpful and supportive of career growth if you are the right person. They tend to treat the warehouse employees as drones and work to remove any individuality with rigid dress code rules. They do not ask for or value their opinions. It is do as you are told and don't talk back
Very reliable, Good comunication skills , great schedular
The open communication we have.
They are willing to help when they can and try to do their best with limited resources.
They are the best ever
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
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
Being proper leaders and actually helping out when needed.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Pays the bills decent pay
Vacation pay and sick time.
Pay is above retail average
Pay is above retail for other stores
Wages are good. Discount is nice. Some of the additional benefits are useful.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
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
To feel better about your compensation, focus on the full value of benefits like health insurance or discounts. Pursue side hustles for extra income, and invest in skill development to boost your earning potential. Recognizing non-monetary perks can also shift your perspective.
Review from Sales Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
Hard working people who are always willing to help
Mostly great, hard-working people. Good leadership team.
Experienced team members work well together and understand how to make the shift be smooth and wffective with positive results.
Help one anither, work hard
The co workers make it bearable.
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 is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Fun company to work for. I enjoy it
My coworkers that im friendly with.
Review from Sales Dept
Good managers and good team members outweigh the negatives mostly.
Supportive, respectful, creative, and understanding
the company values and work/life balance.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
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.
For the culture, I believe target should set realistic expectaions that all will follow
What did you like most about the interview process?
Once I was talking to a person, they were easy to talk to.
It was fast and easy
Just how simple it was.
Review from Sales Dept
Able to schedule times, easy process
Review from Executive Dept
I enjoyed making the videos watching them and then remaking and editing them
Review from Business Development Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
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
In person interview would be a lot better.
What makes you most happy at work?
I enjoy Helping people out
When the workload doesn't feel overwhelming. Either a lighter work day or there are no (few) call outs.
Dealing with Guests and helping them, making the work environment easier to work in. Open communication with managers
Reliable schedule, Great management, Decent pay
the work that I do to help my team and align with company goals.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
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
Misguided strategic direction forward, competitors are taking over
What do you like best about your company?
The people I work with. Everyone is down to Earth and genuinely care about one another.
they work with peoples flexibility
Review from Sales Dept
It’s a good place to work
Review from Product Dept
nothing much at all i get a pay check
Good teamwork & supportive coworkers.
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 !
