I feel valued and empowered at work.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
I love the work that I do and the people I do it with. I am, however, disappointed with the wage compression between my team and myself due to the significant raises they have received in the last 18 months.

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

What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Ask for feedback from the people who actually work in the banking centers day in and day out for feedback on what could make our jobs easier as well as what impact those changes might have on our client base.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
It seems just about everyone on the consumer team have been given significant raises within the last 18 months with no added responsibility. Managers have had quite a bit more expected of them in the way of job duties with no additional compensation. SAs have doubled their salaries.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Ours SA teams received almost a 50% increase in pay in the past two years. CRRs received quite a significant increase as well with really not much in the way of additional responsibilities. While I am happy for my team, I feel that more has been piled on managers with no increase in pay.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I feel with my years of experience and the increase in what is being asked of managers as well as the significant increase in pay for SAs and CRRS, that my pay as a manager is a lot less competitive. And with the change in pay grade, I am now near the bottom of the pay scale with 34 years experience
