Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
The best that I have had the pleasure of interacting with.
There is area of opportunities to connect better with employees
They encourage individual contributors to speak up, have their own ideas & give their genuine opinion on things. They don't want 'yes' people.
they are nice and caring
Transparency in decisions and changes.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Interview process , contractors shouldnt have to interview for a job they are already doing
Just disappointed in my division. I hear great things about other teams.
Transparently and genuinely trying to do a good job, and not worrying about their own funds
They need to be a positive influence on their worker.
Continue to diversify portfolio. Aging workforce is a problem. At middle management, there's little succession planning.

Review from Operations Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Now that I realize it, I am paid for they wanted me to do and not what I wanted to do
Fair compensation to match the market and performance based. I have seen first hand where employees have been promoted based on the relationships they had and color of their skin not because they actually added any value.
The rules of being a salesperson or out of the ridiculous for this company
Because I can be easily replaced by temps.
I came in way below where I should have and have been catching up ever since. I am making 30% less than my peers and 50% less than my skills and talent including acquiring new and valuable skills, talent, certifications and degrees while on the job.
What are some of the best things about your team?
They are knowledgable professionable and when they speak I understand everything they are introducing
We hire great people. There are always a few folks who are hard to work with no matter what company you're at. I have always had a great time getting on with each of my teams.
We make sure to have a collaborative, open, accepting environment.
We share our individual skills to accomplish every and any tasks put before us.
Review from Operations Dept
They think to remember other pillars of the team when they are engaged in conversations that might impact the work of others on the team
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Talk and chatter always gets off topic. Play later. It's ok to make the overall meeting engaging, but to get off track and way from topic for the entire meeting is a waste of people's time
Greed and Corruption has taken over the minds of my constituents
They to have mutual respect for one another.
Need to overhaul middle management to be more effective.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Director Leader is just absent and manages up, Direct leader is nice, but hoards work mostly out of fear that only they know the work instead of giving people the tools and know how
