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

Compensation Reviews

The amout of responsibilities are huge and I am not getting payed as I should

I feel we put in a large deal of work only to get nickle and dimes on things like time off, lunch breaks, etc. and I feel we are paid below industry standard.

401k or pay raise would make me feel better

I recorded a shift manager when she cussed me, yelled at me, accused me of untrue things, called me inappropriate names, and said she was going to cut my hours. My hours were cut. The manger and the cooks, her boyfriend & her roommate, told lies to the store manger. AND NOTHING HAPPENED TO HER!

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

Team Reviews

i enjoy some of the community at my work, but the support when it comes to dealing with important healthy work environment issues is lacking. i commonly feel condescended and management was unhelpful in reaching resolution. i wish this had been as wonderful of an experience as i was hoping it to be.

There is no spirit of innovation and problem solving except in a few individuals, and many times it’s ove

The manager that is rude to the customers and employees should be fired.

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

Environment Reviews

The sense of family and camaraderie

The will to succeed. The support when it's needed and the collaboration across areas

Everyone's bond to music

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

Sexism is still a thing at this company (At this office) and management tends to lean on the side to favor whoever is "higher up" in the company rather than who is actually right.

sexism and favoritism needs to be addressed in certain departments. we should be industry leaders and lead by example, but instead, forward thinkers are quieted and we are so separated as a company that support is few and far between.

Employees never do any deep cleaning. No extra cleaning is done.

Many areas of the company are very hierarchical and managed in an old school way

I was a referral, so I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer this question.

I was able to get a good read of the management
