What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Manager thankfully resigned but the ET is all about the process
Communication, respect and trust - there's a lot of VP but a very hierarchical top down approach
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Simply put, if the company can turn down a 50 billion dollar acquisition, then they can afford to pay more to people busting their hump for a 12 hour shift!
Not competitive pay, lack of opportunity based on location and inconsistent management
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Communication, inclusivity, professionalism, verbiage, dialogue and personal space. Most people just want to survive 12hr shifts, not take coworkers home and become family. Coworkers need to learn that everyone is not hires to be friends, but were hired to do a job and go home.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Friendships, cliques, boundaries, professionalism, stop hiring kids fresh out of college because they make the environment hostile, willingness to help others learn and grow and most importantly communication
Change in management and more joined up thinking on changes. Decent pipeline would help
Empower all those VPs, stop hiring people in senior positions because their friends with SVP.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
They make you feel like you got what they're looking for and when you get Onboarding complete, your past experiences are a joke to them

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Clueless leaders, weak management and poor pipeline
Top down, mistrustful senior leaders - assume they know everything and others are idiots.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Culture, leadership, diversity in thought
