What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Pay does not match expectations. Executives are getting 480% & 510% pay increases in a single year. Those at the bottom, that are already overworked, a measly 2-3%. Don't expect employees to believe leadership cares about anything but the bottom line $$.

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

Outlook Reviews

The workload is excessive & demands high. The pay is the opposite. This is not a new complaint. It has been ongoing for 10+ years. If FA cared, they would have already taken action. No worries, the employees know nothing will actually be done to improve this except aiming hot air towards us.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 9 days ago

Executive leadership only cares about the bottom line, they do not actually care about the customer experience or the well-being of employees.

Review from Customer Success Dept · Posted 12 days ago

the HR are not clearly communicating about the compensation package in case an employee gets promoted to a certain leve. atleast they shoud hold one on one discussion with the promoted employee and explain them about their revised salary package rather than just uploading on the work day

micromanagement - not hearing or accepting alternate ways or opinions- do it this way b/c we said to- even when it is against the consumer request or best interest
