Overall the experience is decent and it pays the bills. I think there is a lot of work still to be done as far as culture and retaining talented/tenured employees.
What makes you most happy at work?
My commitment and loyalty are to my manager.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Better benefits, health care, higher pay
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
I think we have a long way to go in this area.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Our salaries and benefits are minimal compared to other companies within the market. I choose to stay at FMB because of the convenience and the people I work with.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
We are evolving into the new age as a company which is exciting to be a part of. I think we have a long way to go, especially to retain young talent, but we are headed in the right direction.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
My role is not necessarily tied to banking but could be applied in any industry. There are definitely more competitive wages with better perks (remote work, flex scheduling, etc.) with other companies in the same market that our company is just now touching on.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
The constant re-orgs are doing nothing other than making employees feel unstable and insecure. We have executives and management making decisions on things that they are so far from having a good understanding on. Im concerned we are going to continue losing good, taleneted people in the tech space.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
It is extremely hard to get work accomplished when we are squeezed in a tight space like a bunch of sardines. My team takes a lot of conference calls and because we sit so close together, people on the phone can hear every conversation that is going on around me. There is no privacy.
