They're all here for eachother; I still recall that during my onboarding, not only my manager made sure she was training me, but the entire team was here to offer their support and tells you how good they are; They are people you can trust and succeed with, and I couldn't ask for better.

Review from Operations Dept

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

They need to be more accessible, most all of the employees that are working remotely are very hard to get a hold of and they seem to not be available when needed, also we receive a lot of emails late, shows me that they are able to do their work whenever it is convenient to them.

Review from Operations Dept

Competency, Accountability, Commitment, Attitude. Too much of a "that's not my job" mentality. The organization feels completely siloed and disconnected from one another.

Review from Sales Dept

Actually doing their jobs and not trying to pass everything off on to everyone else to do. Look into things it might just be one more click to get the answer.

Lack of respect for others and no leadership coaching people to be kind and respectful in interactions. Has been an issue since long before I started.

Review from Business Development Dept

They also need a lot of improvements.

Review from Admin Dept

More focused and driven coworkers. Some appear to just be here for a paycheck.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Ownership and Accountability. Not all employees are engaged to same level which can be frustrating. Also we tend to work in silos and lack cooperation between departments

Review from Sales Dept

Monthly meeting on how new things are evolving within the branch, keep them up to date.
