We are collaborative, and the support on the team is great

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

Valued as a team member, the ability to voice my concerns and seek assistance with policy/procedure changes

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

I feel there is lacking communication between departments and the executive leadership, which tends to cause snowballing issues. Cleaning up communication and offering more flexibility in work. Invest in our tools (ie a CRM, a working phone system, support remote work)

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Communication is very lacking. Many departments seem to operate autonomously and independent of one another, causing confusion and miscommunication between teams, customers, and branches. When changes are made, those with direct seem to be the last to know, or learn it from our customer base.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation nationally has not kept in pace with inflation, so it is inherently low. Combined with a position in customer care that requires consistent training in roles above my paygrade, while adding more tasks from those roles to my own, without any meaningful increase in wages or benefits
