Better Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Health care offered was great

Cash is high for market

Good pay per hour. Good benefits as well

It was all in all great.

health benefits are amazing, affordable and easy to use

Salary was ok snd bonus not bad

I'm glad that I am paid fairly!

unlimited time off and work life balance

great benefits and fair pay

All of the Benefits as a whole are awesome. Only thing missing is 401k match

Competitive pay and a comprehensive benefits package. $60,000 for family planning/fertility treatments!

The best part of the compensation package is feeling like for the first time I am compensated for my experience.

That you can recieve commission and i love the equity/stock

Overall benefits- growth opportunity !!

Stock Options before change to BSU

Equity is the best part of our compensation package

Even though I joined the company when it's a late-stage unicorn, the equity component is generous.

Review from Legal Dept

Paid for by the company!

Review from Sales Dept

Benefits are amazing. They cover a lot if not all of your health insurance depending on what insurance you select.

Review from Operations Dept

I love that I have a lot of control over my incentive pay, but also that my base pay still covers me regardless.

Review from Operations Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

They lowered salaries, bonus, and removed benefits to turn a profit. Employees can't live like this. C-suite is getting paid mass bonuses while cutting jobs and pay of others.

Stop changing the way we are compensated for incentives. Stop changing the incentive structure every month and then changing the targets midmonth.

Review from Sales Dept

They continuously roll out new pay/bonus and then less than a week before the month ends, they change how they will pay these incentives out and continuously screw employees out of our hard earned pay.

Base compensation is fair but the commission structure is constantly changing and taking away pay from the employees every single month. The team that handles the pay don't even know how to calculate incentives.

Change in bonus structure and them doing everything to try to fix budget except adjust their own salary.

CEO doesn't look at employees as humans

I'd like a higher base, or a matching 401k.

Review from Sales Dept

I feel like I am underpaid for the contributions I make to the company compared to other individuals in other departments.

Review from Operations Dept

Not necessarily undervalued but many of us believe we go above and beyond for the company or work excess of 8hours per day. It would be nice to be recognized or have higher salary because of that

Review from Business Development Dept

More visibility into bonuses and equity
