- What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?There is no positivity about the strong anymore. Very poor culture. They truly only care about raising prices and taking customers money
- What did you like most about the interview process?They are honestly looking for nothing but warm bodies. If you act friendly, you'll get a job. Look at the recent hires who are unqualified
- What makes you most happy at work?Every day brings a new adventure
Constructive Feedback From The Strong Employees
- What does the leadership team need to get better at?Very snobbish attitude of managers and "senior leadership" toward hourly workers
- What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?The company is hiring more and more unqualified unskilled workers who are there to just take a paycheck and don't care about the future
- What's going wrong and how can it be improved?Until managers actually see what is happening on the floor nothing will ever improve. Claudette acts like a dictator who will belittle you
