USC Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

That I get to enjoy 2 weeks off to be with my family at the holidays.

HEALTH INSURANCE, PENSION, MEDICAL LEAVE, TIME OFF

The matching 401 benefit really helps.

Profit sharing and the equity my stocks yield yearly

I earn so much in my 401K

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I applied internally for a new shift time and asked for the minimum pay that was offered in the job posting. I was told they might not be able to justify a raise because I am still too new. I believe applying for a new position should include the pay offered.

Fair market wages across the board needs to be addressed

higher salary and deliver on promised promotion

I oversee and do a lot of work that in other positrons would pay more and is not compatible with other roles.

Favoritism and inconsistent practice in pay depending on who you are

Salary is not on par with Los Angeles cost of living

More transparency from management on how employees are evaluated for promotions and salary increase.

They are looking to save money so hours are being cut making people working there doing extra jobs. Quite a bit of favoritism you’re in good with the boss you don’t have to worry about your job.

I would feel better if there were opportunities to excel to higher positions.

More focus on individual employee growth
