Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Underpaid sales force with little professional training or skills and those that do go above and beyond are not deferentially compensated. little opportunity for growth, workforce cut back to the point that little can get done. The lack of creativity and sophistication by management is startling.

Health benefits. Company worried about future
Bad pay and the company canceled the employee pension plan.
