I like working as a contractor for FSA, but the fact that we hardly receive raises makes it hard to want to stay with FSA. Each year our benefits get more expensive and we rarely get pay increases. When we do get an increase, it is extremely insignificant.
Handling problems and doing the right thing.
Knowlege and experience in doing the job.
my values align with that of mission.
Feeling appreciated is extremely important
FSA has a great staff of people, but sometimes when I reach out I don't get a response from HR or benefits department.
We all have a wealth of knowledge so if you need to reach out for assistance, there is usually someone who can assist.
The raises are extremely insignificant or non existent. Our benefits get worse every year and cost more. You essentially are making less every year instead of more.
The employees. We have a lot of people who have been on the contract for 20 and even 30 plus years. The knowledge and experience shows in our ability to do our work.
Your employees are your biggest asset. You need to provide raises on a regular basis. You need to pay senior employees more than those that just started the job. You need to reward those that stay with t he company and have a wealth of knowledge. Benefits cost more, pay stays the same.
I have worked on this contract for 35 years this year. Our raises are very small. Those of us who have more time on and more knowledge are not compensated appropriately. The difference in pay for a new hire compared to a veteran is small. Beneifits cost more every year, so we are making less.
