I am a dedicated employee; however, feel less valued each year I am with the company.

Good, or I would not have been with the FMB family for 18+ years.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
It is like a marriage or life. Most times are good; however, there are also rough patches. There have been some changes for our area in the last year; however, the last 4 years have been challenging for different reasons. I am vested in staying but would like to see improvements.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The collaboration of the people we work with on a daily basis to do the best thing.
What makes you most happy at work?
Having a sense of accomplishment. Seeing our pipeline flowing well is typically for the overall good of the company.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Learn their processes and complete the tasks which should be handled in the proper order. Attempting to "beat the system" typically results in more work for any/all parties involved.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
For the responsibilities I have assumed over the years, I would be paid a higher salary for less responsibility if I ever opted to leave the First Merchant's family for different employment.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Our group has not expanded staffing in close to 10 years, albeit finalizing several acquisitions / mergers into FMB. This has resulted in more work for our department with no additional workers to help with the added workflow.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I have been the backbone for our department for quite a while and am a frequent person for internal staff to ask for guidance; however, our very small department needs more staff. Burnout is a real concern for our team.
