Review from Operations Dept
I made 1/2 of what others in the same position at other institutions made.
additional vacation time, ability to earn more sooner, salary should grow with additional reponsiblities assumed.
Company continues to hand out branded swag instead of raising pay. New hire pay has increased drastically while pay for existing workers was not adjusted equally. Sign-on bonuses up to $2000 - no retention bonus, annual bonus less than $1000. Compensation for the role is not competitive anymore.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Communication is key but gossip is the downfall
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Better direct line management that are not just left over from past mergers.
An entirely new management team starting with the execution of Napier,Terri
certain old timers gotta go. better job/role definition.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Be transparent about the work we are doing. They never tell you, you will be CONSTANTLY BIT in order to handle animals.
Review from Operations Dept
Have some people with a little more charisma be in charge
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
It all comes from the way the culture is set up. These people know a lot about monkeys but nothing about people..their own employees if you will. Its kinda like they have their own gangs in the company and if you aren't licking the bottome of your managers shoes then you're insubordinate.
Company is expanding without slowing down for adequate training of its new hires. Expectation of employees to become more efficient and adjust without addressing 14+ hour work days.
