Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

It's a job. I have no motivation to do better and keep hoping things will get better. I am close to retirement, and it would be great to have the money to actually retire when the time comes. Overall, I like the people I work with but that is about it.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

Overall, the only reason I stay is because I need a paycheck. Even though I don't get paid what I feel I am worth, I get enough to survive from one check to the next. I am not happy and therefore I don't have any passion to do anything better. I do the bare minimum and what I am required to do only.

A more comprehensive yearly pay increase that falls in line with the cost of living for the area in which I live and work.

I think they want to help, but they really lack knowing what the job I do actually is so they fail to completely understand what is needed.

What are some of the best things about your team?

They are loyal and trustworthy. All are hard workers and respectful of one another and the customer. I am grateful to them and without them I would not be here today.

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

Other than dealing with HQ, the local office I work in is relaxed and flexible. The culture is professional but allows employees to feel comfortable and relaxed so they can perform their jobs adequately.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

They do seem to try to work with the customer to help the employees satisfied. Other than not providing cost of living increases regularly, that is the only fault I can attribute to the leadership team.

I feel that if my supervisor and upper management had a better idea of my actual job duties, they would adjust my compensation as well as understanding that I live in one of the most expensive states in the country.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

The leadership team should send someone to SEE exactly what I do in my daily job so they can make better choices for training and upward movement in the company. They are out of touch with the employees in the field offices

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

There are too many things going wrong to list in 300 words. Overall there is just such a disconnect between the organization that I work for as well as the customer where I am. No one seems to care or acknowledge my presence.

What are some of the best things about your team?

I have a wonderful team of employees to supervise. They all can be trusted to do the right thing and get the job done so I don't have to worry about them and can concentrate on getting my work completed. We have active communication as well.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Better understanding of what each of the REA's, DA's and supervisors do on a daily basis. That would help the company gear their training and benefits to better suit their employees. Providing more opportunities for growth and advancement would be extremely helpful. Allowing employees to thrive.

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

More opportunities to grow and learn. Diversify positions so we can help the customers with more. Better pay and cost of living increases annually. Better understanding of each office and the needs for the customers so the REA's can be better equipped to help. Provide motivation to do better.

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

I have done research on other positions that are similar to mine, and they start out at $100k. I have 5 years of experience as a supervisor and even though I have earned praise and a raise in the last year, I still feel as if I could earn more.

What are some of the best things about your team?

I can rely on my team to get the job done and I feel confident in their abilities. I trust them and we communicate on a daily basis in one form or another. They are a great team and if it wasn't for them I would not be in this job

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Be more invested in the employees by giving at a minimum a cost of living increase and make training available that would actually benefit the employees who want to move up in the company and make it possible for them to support the customer on other levels besides just asset forfeiture

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

I have never really felt that I was a good fit for the job I am in. I prefer to work in an environment that is more low key and peaceful with very little stress. I feel that the knowledge, skills and abilities I have are not utilized to their highest level, pay is not adequate for what I do daily.
