Resting on COVID sales and putting out greedy hikes and promos do not pass the vibe check at all. | Comparably

The actual workshop vibe is amazing. Just serving and helping kids is amazing. But the corporate blunders back to back with such rapid frequency really makes the ship feel like it's poised to sink. Resting on COVID sales and putting out greedy hikes and promos do not pass the vibe check at all.

Quais são algumas das melhores coisas da sua equipe?

Fantastic attitude, smiles and desire to be actual friends, not just punch a clock. That said, that historically is rare for us.

O que você melhoraria na entrevista de emprego de sua companhia?

Remove the bureaucracy and learn some basic social skills. There's more to life than pondering how every waking moment would work as a Facebook post.

Qual é a coisa mais positiva da cultura e do ambiente da sua empresa?

My immediate team. Anything above that level is micromanaged to death. And beware if you're a man. This company is a girl's club and they're proud of it.

O que está ruim e como pode melhorar?

Guests feel that the products they want are never in store. There's constant corporate mandated upselling and forcing socially shy guests into uncomfortable social scenarios. There's a lot of settling of differences through exaggeration, innuendo and passive agression and spiteful career sniping.

Por que você se sente desvalorizado e o que faria você se sentir melhor compensado?

The issue is that lack of autonomy makes every position worth about minimum wage. It also invites hiring the lowest quality people because that's what their skills are usually worth. So being an employee who works and has a functioning brain feels punishing as if the company wants them to leave.

No que a equipe de líderes deveria melhor?

Getting in touch with consumers and inviting honest communication instead of rewarding people for buying into the kool-aid to enter the bubble. The movie was one of the dumbest ideas of all time. The price hikes in a recession is out of touch. The old school micro managing is backwards.
