Very supportive and open to feedback

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Bonus is above market rate

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

People care about each other

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

Standardize the process. At AA each area does whatever it wants which makes no sense.

HR processes. Top-performing employees of color were fired during the pandemic without any HR review process. Now AA is attempting to hire from outside to meet diversity goals. Why not rehire experienced employees first, many of whom are people of color?
