What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Have a prayer room and respect cultures

Review from Customer Support Dept

i think the management, leadership department needs to have better training. They act more like friends than leadership. no on has the initive to take a supervisor call, there has been time when they straight up said they didn't want to take the call and had the cst on hold.

Review from Product Dept

From an operational POV, we just need a culture. We originally had one but several changes has brought any semblance of the Chicago workforce culture. Additionally, we are micro-managed and treated like children. The operational support teams in Chicago are horrendous at their jobs.
