What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Most leadership is out of touch with their workforce and they could practice more empathy and understanding.
Need clearer direction, less fire drills, more support.
Treating their employees with respect - in the sense ideals portrayed outwardly by the company need to be practiced internally as well.
Treating their employees with dignity & respect. The success of Motherly is built off the hard work of the employees. Practice what you preach to your audience.
There seems to be no interest in investing in current team members as the company evolves. There is no direct path of career development in the company and no opportunities for training or leveling up. The minute KPIs aren't met the threat of being replaced surfaces.
Review from Marketing Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Appreciation for hard work is rare at Motherly. Get it when you can but don't expect it. Pay is okay. Benefits are horrible, especially considering it's a company geared towards mothers.
Simply recognizing the hard work and effort put forth on a daily basis would be a good start.
The pay is not competitive to the market—especially as it pertains to the oppressive expectations and unrealistic

Bringing up salaries to competitive market rates
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Less meetings. Less fire drills, more time to focus on actual work instead of reacting to the dozens of sudden requests from management.
There are many in the company that I do not trust.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Top down leadership needs serious improvement. Treat people with respect. Lose the condescension and recognize the employees & relationships with partners will make or break the success of the company. Without them you have nothing.
KPIs need to be aligned with the resources available. If resources change, the KPIs need to adjust to reflect that in a realistic way, not an optimistic way. The prioritization needs to be crystal clear and the whiplash of moving from one project to another needs to be slowed down.
Review from Marketing Dept
Over the last several months we have seen some drastic changes on the teams and seeing people reap the benefits of behavior that isn't really Motherly. The exec team is aware and does nothing

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Less meetings and micromanagement of projects. Trust your workforce to get their work done successfully.
Ridiculous amount of work for the # of people involved. Leadership preaches work / life balance and no one seems to have it because of the KPIs / demands of their jobs. Unlimited PTO! Except there's no time to take it because if you get behind, the CEO will sack you. Great way to live.
The ambition of the founders is apparent, but they are divorced from the reality in what it requires to actually get the job done - especially in regards to time frame. Very often large initiatives will be brought up with a very short turnaround (e.g. the homepage redesign).
