Constructive Feedback From Betterworks Employees

  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    I joined the company accepting a little lower comp than I expected only because I loved the culture, product and that we have a great team onboard. This opportunity had provided great exposure and I can learn a lot to progress in my career but comp raise hasn't satisfied me compared to my effort.
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    inflation for rent and food is taking a toll on my savings
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    I do not feel undervalued, I know we are on a budget. When we are doing well again it would be nice to have some form of a retirement fund. When I factor the matching 401K I used to receive at my last job ( not as EQ focused as here ), I was making less with a title boost here than I was prev
