Overall the company identity is faltering. This is a midwest company that is present across many states. Cultures do not need to be "cleansed" in the company but the company should recognize the lack of diversity and inclusion in their company. As a 30+ yr old company, diversity training should not be something new for the books. I believe many of the issues come from the client base (loosely identified here) being promoted by the cheeky advertising and Americana themes of the "blue-collar, hard worker" which imply a politically conservative attitude. Thus not creating a "welcoming" aura about the company. A simple search on company reviews and vaccines (from shoppers) reveals the political nature of the customer clientele I have described. The company may address whatever political views it likes, but it must be aware it is a national, publically traded company. Not a private store with its own mission and values.
