What does the leadership team need to get better at?
The "team" loves to spout "family" but continually fails to meet living wage or quality of life changes. The c-suite executives are only interested in their own pockets.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
If CFN would raise pay and invest in the people, not the business, it might improve. Interesting that a 40 year old company is still in "start-up" mode when it comes to culture and finances.
I handle a lot of responsibilities and carry the work home with me.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Stop pussyfooting around remote work and let your employees thrive away from the jail-like office you have set up. Remote work is here now, not in 3-4 years.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The company needs to take a hard look at what is reasonable for its size and status. It's driving people away by shifting focus from the employees, and it appears to be backfiring.
Upper management needs to be more open to ideas from outside their sphere.
Exit start up mode, realize your employees are your business, and PAY THEM. CFN's mottos is "underpay, over expect." They will host all the "networking" events for employees, but they're generally poorly thought out and would be better invested in people as salary, not a tax write off.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
token questions, unclear who is in the room, who would be the boss, what the role is...they focus on grilling you about what cfn is, tho the website is VAGUE
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
CFN is a bro company. you will hear that word a lot. You will be underpaid. you will be exploited. Stay away.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
looking outward more v. inward
