What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Don't demote people just because you dislike them
Inclusion in diversity. This company has a long hostory in not promoting blacks and having an all white manager team accross the company.
Awareness. I do not think anyone in the six figure pay range knows the every day struggles.
The disconnect between leadership and their subordinates is pretty bad. They go miss for a long time without responses, or they take credit for only being the messenger. All the work is done below them and that includes planning and organization. The amount of managers is heavily bloated.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
the commission structure is shady and unclear
Workload is high and the compensation is not reflective
I know race plays a major role in promotions and compensation. They are unfair ans have not a care in the world for including diversity into their agenda.
I feel like I am valued fairly. Echo has great benefits and overall perks.....and continue to add to them!
A lot of nepotism and favoritism plays a part in your success here. Even when you do succeed, the benefits and pay is minimal at best. They expect you to work after work and on the weekends. Especially now that they plan to have software releases on the weekend. No compensation for the weekend.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Stop with the backbiting and support each other. The company makes a big deal about carrying the load together but everyone is ready in an instant to point fingers and assign blame away from themselves in order to stay clean.
The ability to communicate in person without the need of a manager to get things done or training everything in emails.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Don't force it as much. Let people stretch their legs a bit. Not everything has to be "disrupted" every six months.
Reduce the amount of managers that bring no benefit to the team or production. Increase pay and allow more ability to communicate without the push to constantly use conference rooms and emails.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
High carrier rates, too expensive
Everyone talks about the future of freight and information technology but they are only willing to listen to the latest buzzwords and internet articles. Listen to your employees some more and things will improve.
Nepotism, favoritism, low pay, managers that are ineffective with horrible leadership skills. Slow development environment where 90+% of the time you're just dealing with dev environment instead of actual development work. Example: it can take days to weeks to do a data change.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Better structure in software development where it's more efficient
