    Awesome workplace environment to build a career.

    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.

    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.

    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.
