The few times they have the correct number of employees

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I believe that the starting pay for employees should be higher. The amount of work expected is more than one person can do and the pay is equivalent to what half a person would get.

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

I would like to see the company run efficiently and effectively through additional leadership training, better computer systems (functional), employee cohesion events, and by showing that employees (and managers) are valued as both people and employees.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

The leadership team needs to gain time management skills. This is shown by their inability to appropriately schedule their managers and their employees. They need to eat the training cost to reach full staff and ensure the smooth functioning of their business.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Management needs to step up as leaders and fill in where it is necessary to ensure that the job gets done rather than complaining that the job isn't done while they stand by watching it get worse. Most managers need leadership training.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

When a coworker sees an issue, instead of adding to the issue, they should take a few minutes to help resolve it. People need to help where help is needed until full staffing is reached. Turnover is high due to the lack of coworker, and management, support.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

The company needs to address the poor management skills, lack of coworker cohesion, lack of initiative for completing extra tasks that need completed (managers). Staffing needs to be met and the company needs to eat the cost until it is, rather than expecting high quality from low quality people.
