It is getting better, however, the incentive system is lacking and there is little room for advancement if you are not in a customer facing roll. The HR policies are outdated and could be revamped. Moving to one bank of PTO would help improve call offs and help manage staffing.

There is little opportunity to be promoted. There has to be an open position to be "promoted" within our department and it leaves me feeling stuck. My talents are not being used in a manner that fulfills me professionally.
