What is the best part about your compensation package?
Commissions plan is very competitive but success factors are low so most don't achieve
benefits and vacation time off
The split between variable and fixed
I love that I can earn bonuses on my yearly pay (that are permanent), as well as stock options.
Review from Sales Dept
base salary and potential commission - if you make the sales
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Double the pay. Pay commissions honestly.
They are not showing a meeting point
Better 401k match right now its 2% and the health care is way to high
The title I have is deserving of the pay, bit the amount of responsibilites that is put on myself and my team go beyond what would be the normal duties of my title
Bullying is enforced by senior management. VPs are trained to be harassers and promote it openly. The toxic environment is the law. We just stay because commissions are good.
