Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

The lack of training puts me in an unenviable position of being judged against someone's understanding of my job versus what I have been told my job encompasses.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

There are a lot of highly intelligent people here.

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

There is no wage transparency at this company, and I feel that the company takes advantage of that to suppress wages.

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

Sales staff needs to be accountable for their decisions, and hold the customer accountable for their change orders and ever-evolving project parameters.

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

There needs to be more training to allow for coworkers to be acting in a uniform fashion, and therefore have similar expectations of their abilities.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

There is a serious disconnect between the "corporate image" that is presented to the world, and the actuality of working here to achieve positive results.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

The corporate vision is not being executed on the lower levels, so there is a disconnected feeling when it comes to what the company says versus what we at the lower levels are actually doing...

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership team needs to do a better job of connecting the advertised goals of the company to an individual's efforts. There needs to be more training of team members to allow them to better contribute to achieving the company's goals.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership needs to actually listen to the employees when they bring up concerns or suggestions to best practices. There is a huge disconnect between what management says is going to happen and what actually takes place on a daily basis.

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

There is no recognition of my contributions. They often feel overshadowed by the missteps of other departments and the clients themselves. Hard to make a good product when the design parameters keep changing. Compensation needs to be increased across the board.
