Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They are very wonderful. I love them.
TEAMWORK AND WILLINGNESS TO GET HELP
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
They need to be qualified first off and stop stroking their egos. They sit in meetings all day with no idea if the workload the people under them are doing.
Merit means nothing in this company. It's all about personal political relationships. Middle management are appointed to positions which they are unqualified for. It has gotten to the point that Regulatory Commission Staff are issuing large disallowances for this reason.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Health insurance is very good package.
I've worked there long enough that I get a 75% match for my 401k. Newer employees have lesser packages.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
BETTER INSURANCE BETTER PAY RATE
