The forced positivity can get old, favoritism and nepotism but no more so than your average company, no room for advancement (CEO referred to it as a "lateral company", where you learn but don't advance), too lenient on attendance at times, lack of accountability, either micromanaged or given no direction at all, warehouse is actively mocked by corporate employees, department cliques (to be expected), lack of a real training process for any position in any department

The upper management seems to lack a lot of communication now. It didn’t seem like they didn’t have any a little bit back but then again I probably wasn’t paying attention. It seems secluded and sometimes isolated. If you work in the warehouse you don’t feel as valued as someone in the Draper office. They like to think that we have good stuff and granted we have things that most companies might not like the grill but, we have to have it transferred here to salt lake making the food sit in a warmer or the fridge for periods of time making it not good. There is a huge lack of motivation from a lot of people here. Even seeming from a management standpoint. Not a lot of people here feel good about coming to work. It’s hard labor at times and okay pay off. There doesn’t feel like a lot of team or company activities and I get that due to covid but even before that I didn’t really see much. To me it just sucks sometimes working in a place well firstly far away and long commute (a lot of people have to go very far to get here). And secondly it’s a place that’s a hard working job to go home and forget about. I’d like to think I’m making enough money with bonuses but in reality we aren’t. Partly due to inflation, but all in all companies change the wages around more and it gets competitive. I have hope for this place cause I like what I do it’s just recognition kinda sucks. It seems like some random people get recognized but a lot of people are underdogs. I’ve certainly felt that way about myself. The biggest problem to me is honestly a lack of headphones. I have anxiety and depression and listening to things like music or even calming or comedy podcasts actually help me focus. But not having them is a huge issue. We have loud machines all day with the most repetitive song playlists you can barely hear. It’s difficult to come in and listen to the same things every day. If one thing I would like to see change is at least having 1 headphone in.
