What do you like best about the leadership team?

Leadership Reviews

Too many changes in a short period of time leading to frequent direction changes

The corporation pushes diversity and talks openly about respecting all cultures, including LGBTQ

the working environment and culture is great

Review from IT Dept

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Developing a spine, allowing work from home.

Take responsibility for their actions. This company shrugs off low morale, and always tries to say the right things, without changing anything.

Review from IT Dept

The management is just there to micro-manage and create reports for upper management. Very structured format and NO open box thinking.

everything. they mess with employees pay, especially sales people. And the companies they buy like Cardconnect are even worse on all levels

Thinking through, and considering implications of, decisions made that negatively affect the employees that keep the company running. Stop making a lot of major changes too close in timeframe. Go to the correct people to help make those decisions.

Review from IT Dept

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

It shows up each month

Review from IT Dept

Salary is higher than most other companies for my job.

Review from Finance Dept

stock

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

Compensation Reviews

Compensate and bonus based on acual perfrmance and no some vague coporate measurement one would never have any ability to change.

Because its notba good place

Allow working from home, now.

It won't happen with this company as long as Frank Bisignano and his buddies run the company. When we merged with Fiserv one of them said " I can believe the way First Data treats its employees".....not soon after Frank became CEO ......the original Fiserv people were so disappointed.

Benefits were cut during the pandemic and have never made it all the way back.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Team Reviews

They truly interact with each other in support of the product.

Review from IT Dept

At least 75% of my team pull their weight and are smart people.

Review from Finance Dept

Peers were friendly

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

Team Reviews

Folks at this company have a serious lack of industry knowledge, many need to learn the ropes. Also dont delegate work to others, do it yourselves.

Figure out how to not be so bad.

Share information with coworkers. Unionise.

Immediate co-workers are a good team; better communication for collaborative efforts is always a necessary improvement everywhere.

Review from Finance Dept

Open cube envirnments lead to lack of respect and a noise level that is VERY distracting

Review from Finance Dept

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Environment Reviews

My team supports one another.

Review from Finance Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

Allow working from home. The atmosphere in work is poisonous since everyone has been forced back, and dressing it up as 'welcoming back to the office' just makes it worse. It's gaslighting.

new management team and hopefully wont have as much turnover

Fear factor that jobs will be lost because locations will close. Find more sensible ways to cut costs. Take a more tech approach to the business instead of banking/financial perspectives. Trim the ineffective fat at the top.

Review from Finance Dept

Location is closing and there is no communication on the closing and what is happening to people who being let go transitioning there positions to who at this point no one has been hired for that function to transition to.

Review from Finance Dept

Management that takes into account the welfare of the employee as well as the bottom line.

What makes you most happy at work?

Outlook Reviews

My boss is hands-off and I mostly get to work on interesting projects.

Review from Finance Dept

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

Outlook Reviews

Authority is misaligned with responsibility.

Everything. Like i said. Everything.

Morale is terrible and everyone hates it here, because we are micromanaged. That bleeds into the work. Sudden layoffs with no warning. It's all about stock price.

Too many office closures. The company is losing ridiculous amounts of tenure due to this. Employees burn out due to system limitations, lack of project support & large workloads. Tired of working 50-60hr/wk consistently & feeling like I'm making no improvements & receiving no recognition of effort.

Review from Finance Dept

Too much to tell and it would have to start at the top first.
