Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
High pay. Too many of us still live paycheck to paycheck.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The DEI community. Very thankful and fortunate to have that at my job.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I believe everyone deserves pay they can survive on. Lots of folks still live paycheck to paycheck.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Have answered concerns and worked toward actually doing something about them instead of acknowledging and not doing anything.
What makes you most happy at work?
I am able to work with my accommodations and everyone is usually understanding when it comes to that.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Honestly, DEI I think has highlighted so many amazing folks and groups within the company. I know I personally benefit from being my authentic self.
What are some of the best things about your team?
We've been able to have a lot of growth within the last two years and continue to challenge ourselves and figure out ways we can still improve our processes.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I shouldn't still be living nearly paycheck to paycheck while working full-time at a bank. Base pay of $15/hr is not a livable wage, and even $17/hr (around what I make now) is difficult.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Everyone gets along well. Everyone also does their share of work, and we work together if someone needs to switch something. It's never been a problem, everyone has the same or near the same goal.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
People that work for a bank, especially one that claims record profits, should not be living paycheck to paycheck. I don't even have benefits taken out of my paycheck, and still barely make it by.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
I am a very outwardly queer person and my team has been very welcoming and supportive. Other people in the company have also been aware and work to making folks like me comfortable. The ERGs are awesome for fostering several communities we have here.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
I really love and enjoy being involved with DEI and the ERGs in our company. While only one ERG really matches up to my identity, I love being able to learn from others' experiences in the other ERGs. Community is one of the most important things in my life, and forming one in the company is amazing
