What do you like best about the leadership team?Awesome workplace environment to build a career.
What did you like most about the interview process?I meet most if not all of my team before signing on
What are some of the best things about your team?My team used to very collaborative and fun, but my boss quit and the replacement person was pretty incompetent and a strong pushover. He doesn’t set clear goals for the team so I feel like we are always jumping around to different projects without closing anythin
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?My salary is of lower end compared to other company.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?Allow loyal employees with good work ethic that have not used all their personal/sick time (that everyone else seems to take advantage of) to be converted to cash or applied to vacation bank.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?This company CANNOT afford more call outs and employees that take advantage of PTO while those with better work ethic are paid less than or equal. Allow employees to cash personal/sick time or apply it to vacation bank.
