Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

Expectations are set way to high. Staffing is a big issue along with some other things. Not being able to call off when sick and not being able to make appointments during the week because there is not enough staff to cover you is a horrible feeling. Not being able to use sick time or PTO isn't ok.

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

Better team work. Work as a team.

What are some of the best things about your team?

We work well as a group and team.

What makes you most happy at work?

The team I work with and our clients.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

Great team to work for.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

I like how patient and helpful they are when needed.

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

Interacting with our clients and learning new things everyday. Everyday is different then the day before.

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

I feel like for the work a C.R.R. does that we do not get paid enough.

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

The most positive thing about the culture and environment at our company is some of our clients.

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

I feel undervalued because the pressure and expectations being a CRR and a UBB banking center are just unrealistic. What would make me feel better is allow us to have more team members at our banking centers so we can properly help our clients and give them our full attention.

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

The pressure and expectations being a CRR and a UBB banking center are just unrealistic for our banking center. Trying to hit goals and being able to help our clients prosper while being a UBB bank with only 4 people plus a BCM, its just way to stressful for us CRR's. Allow more staff at UBB banks.
