Thank you for sharing your feedback and for highlighting the benefits, uniforms, and company vehicle provided. We’re glad to hear those aspects of the role made a positive impact on your experience. We also understand that long hours and working in the heat can be challenging, especially during peak season. Our roles are often weather-dependent, and we recognize the physical demands that can come with the job. We continue to evaluate scheduling, workload planning, and support to help ensure our team members feel set up for success. Regarding concerns about micromanagement, our goal is to provide clear expectations, coaching, and support, not to create unnecessary pressure. We’re always working to strike the right balance between accountability and autonomy, and feedback like yours helps us improve. We appreciate the work you do and your contribution to the team. If you’d ever like to share additional feedback directly, we encourage you to connect with your leadership team or HR.
