- Day and night shift operations differ, but expectations are often the same, creating confusion for new hires
- Frequent schedule changes with little notice make it difficult to maintain work-life balance
- The typical schedule structure (often 5 x 12-hour shifts) is not sustainable long-term without stronger staffing support or better scheduling practices
- While PTO accrual is strong, employees may find it difficult to use due to workload demands, scheduling limitations, and approval constraints
- Extended hours, weekend and holiday expectations, and limited flexibility can contribute to burnout
- Leadership communication can at times feel heavily focused on frontline mistakes, with less visible accountability at higher levels
- Frequent micromanagement and reactive communication styles can create a high-pressure work environment
- Processes and procedures are not clearly defined or consistently followed, leading to inefficiencies and learning gaps
- Handoffs between shifts can be disorganized and time-consuming
- Upper management decisions can prioritize accepting additional work without fully accounting for operational capacity, increasing stress on frontline teams
- Workplace professionalism and inclusivity could be improved across all levels
- Employee feedback is collected but not always meaningfully acted upon
- No formal exit interview process, limiting opportunities for departing employees to provide feedback and for the company to identify areas for improvement
