What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Knowing what they are actually asking people to do
Manager actively harassed staff based on disabilities
Leadership. They already don't know how to manage not even talking of any leadership. All they do is brown nose to the upper ups (when not sleeping with them).
Building talent, supporting their team, aligning with each other an driving clarity
Review from Marketing Dept
valuing employees and balancing workload
Review from Operations Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Low annual raises aren’t competiti
No consistency in payments across the same levels
Actually pay me market value
Base salary significantly below competitors (30%-50%). Stock vesting is very long so you hardly get anything each year. Health plan is lousy. Add to that HQ location is very expensive with no other companies nearby so you are stuck. And they know it which is why the compensation is so bad.
Because I know competitors compensate their staff much more generously (base salary is 10% below and stock compensation 50% below competitors.)
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Supportive environment that nurtures talent and holds everyone accountable
Review from Marketing Dept
they need to take more ownership and pride of the work area instead of thinking it's just a job
Review from Operations Dept
Most work great together. Some need improvement.
Working together everybody’s aligned in the same page
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
It won't change. The apple is rotten to the core and all the top leadership including the BMS crowd needs to go but this won't happen.
Stop being concerned with profits and actually treat people well
Review from Operations Dept
Leadership team needs to be more transparent in their actions and be just as accountable in failure as they are with success
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
It's a long process in which you have to interview with too many people. It's stressful and time-consuming.
Meet the actual team members, remove the requirement to give notice to managers when internal candidates are interviewing
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Leadershio has no clue what they are asking with the insane timelines
Workload is very high - poor worklife balance is the norm.
We need a better working environment
Manager was not as collaborative or communicative as what is needed in my role. Could have been more professional and not as toxic.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Less work hours no required overtime
