Review from Finance Dept · Posted 15 days ago

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

As a member since the beginning (Pelican Co) There has been a rot from the inside (physical to the buildings and attitude/aptitude). No one cares in conclusion. a wage that started at $15/hour a few years ago would need to be around $19-$22/hour today to maintain similar purchases, NOT HERE

Review from Admin Dept · Posted 11 days ago

I've had 5 different managers in 6yrs which have consistently gotten worse and less knowledgeable. The micromanaging is unnecessary.

Review from Design Dept · Posted 19 days ago

Accountability for every employee, no playing favorites

Review from Admin Dept

it really needs to start with the leadership team and upper management. Employees need better recognition, there needs to be less micromanagement, and the way management engages with employees needs to improve

Review from Product Dept

Better pay, better benefits, more accountability

Review from Sales Dept

Construction companies will always have savory types of people. Finding the right mix of salty and sweet people that are not too old of too young will always be a challenge.

Review from Operations Dept

people being less negative about things

Review from Sales Dept

Again communication. Perhaps having monthly meeting within the office and more morale boosting. Also some positive encouragement instead of always focusing on the negative.

Review from Admin Dept

managers and supervisors. Pay. Employee appreciation. Positive management.

Review from Sales Dept

I think implementing on the job training for high school students would be a great way to secure employees for the future.

Review from Product Dept

New management, new admin, fresh ideas and thoughts and management

Review from Admin Dept

Better attitudes from management and increased pay. Also holding supervisors more accountable.

Review from Operations Dept

bad attitudes, no matter how good people are taken care of in this company they seem to take their personal lives and bring it into the work place and take it out on everyone working around them. pretty disrespectful

Review from Executive Dept

I HAVE GREAT IDEAS BUT IT REQUIRES INVESTMENTS

Review from Admin Dept

less redundant training and policies

Review from Operations Dept

The attitude of people , better team building practices and activities.

Review from Admin Dept

Management not just listening to problems, but acting to address them. Following up on them to make sure there are actual changes.

The manager ask any employe

Hire GM's that care about the workers and the jobs given and to make sure things are being done correctly. I think a good GM can really bring in good customers if he has a good organized work team which will in return bring in the money for the company.

The location could use morning meetings. Compensation. A bad stuck up attitude at the branch by management treating employees poorly.
