I value paid time off. I wish there was more of it, but to me that is the best part of the benefits package.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
This company has a bad history of underpaying for internal promotions. When we hire talent from outside of the company, we topically pay more than when we promote from within. Also, our APPLE incentive plan is not competitive and seems like an afterthought.
