What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication with individuals is horrific. The majority of large scale choices come as surprises to everyone except the ELT. Pay is not to market standard. Expectations are high, resources are low.
Review from Engineering Dept
The leadership team needs to stop removing benefits from longstanding employees. They also need to stop putting benefits into job postings if they do not intend to keep those benefits.
Review from Engineering Dept
Realize that you can't keep screwing over the employees and expect to get any loyalty out of them.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Everything. This company cares only about profit.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Demonstrating care for the employees.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I have trained new people who make (much) more than I do, eve. I believe that's unfair. Other companies also have a much higher pay range for what I do here (When I say much, I mean 20k a year more). While I am content here at the moment, compensation will be a huge factor in retaining me long term.
We are below market value for salary in most areas for first and second line employees and first line managers. It's a problem that if we don't resolve, we will continue to have a revolving door with top talent leaving the company for competitors or other employment.
Review from Operations Dept
I have been told that I have reached the ceiling for my position and cannot get a change in pay unless accepting a higher position, but the responsibilities have increased with no increase in pay.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Market rate pay would be a start. We used to have pretty decent perks, those are all gone. Now we are underpaid with no special perks and standard benefits. Job security with public sector work is the only "perk" but that exists in other jobs as well.
Review from Engineering Dept
Repeated requests by myself and my manager for a pay increase have been met with little feedback. Canadian employees in general are not paid what we should be. Clearer messaging needs to be communicated to employees so we understand what we can do to get the pay we deserve, with fair pay bands.
Review from Engineering Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Some coworkers are hostile to the point where I dislike interacting with them.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Too low in number to effectively handle backlog in addition to incoming tickets. Interactions are generally rude/unprofessional.
Review from Customer Support Dept
STOP TALKING OVER WOMEN IN MEETINGS.
Review from Engineering Dept
CentralSquare operates in Silos of departments and collaboration is hard
Review from Finance Dept
Working remotely is difficult to say.
Review from Customer Support Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
There is no culture, so having any culture would be an improvement.
Review from Engineering Dept
Find a CEO with a good plan and keep him/her in place. Fire all the woke managers and ELT members that the last CEO hired. Trying to turn the company into a woke company did nothing but divide the employees. Start with Alana in payroll!!!
Review from Customer Support Dept
More efficient training, more specified training to the department and team you are joining. That will make sure certain team members are not carrying the weight of the entire team and everyone can contribute equally

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Goals are extremely vague. Leadership doesn't take ownership for failure caused by poor planning.
Review from Engineering Dept
Too much work and not enough people
Review from Sales Dept
Being owned by Bain Capital is a huge negative. They are only concerned about the bottom line and not the employees. Take the company public and start awarding stock to the employees. Once they have a share of ownership, their attitudes will change tremendously.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Poor product quality leading to customers ditching the product
Review from Customer Support Dept
Too much turnover at executive levels constantly leading to process changes.
