No Work Life Balance - Seasonal Lead Uncommon Goods Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Our 4th quarter holiday season is a very busy time for the majority of our company. The demand has certainly increased and the workload has multiplied. Our expectation for leads to cover 6 days a week (over a 3-week period) is to be able to have the opportunity to earn overtime earnings but to also develop and establish their relationship with their team as these key weeks from November to December see our demand really skyrocket. We definitely do not wish to burden anyone and are definitely looking to avoid any burnout. We do suggest talking to a manager to discuss what possible accommodations could be made to your schedule. We also do understand the physicality of the role of the warehouse floor is constantly moving. We do encourage our team members to take a break in the middle of their shift to help alleviate this as again, our holiday season does tend to get very busy. We appreciate your sharing this concern. Part of the job description with this role is to be able to handle the physical requirements of the role, especially as a lead, who needs to monitor, support, and motivate your team in order to ensure efficiency and productivity. We encourage you to reach out to hr@uncommongoods.com if there is something more we can do to help and thank you for all that you are doing.
