My current supervisor has been positive & a real pleasure to work with. But overall, I find it interesting that the worst offenders of professionalism are not corrected & still exist like cancers within the company. All the surveys in the world do not change poor behavior, harsh action does.

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

I think my supervisor and Bertelsmann have shown that there is an intention to do the right things - diversify the workforce, reward those who are most productive, build pathways of growth for those who are hungry for them (note: "intention").

What are some of the best things about your team?

Some team members are positive, hardworking, and open to constructive feedback which has been great. I am a big fan of those on the team who are interested in new strategies and approaches - especially since Partnership is a relatively new department!

What is the best part about your compensation package?

I personally appreciate being paid a base salary that commensurates with where I reside and am happy with it, but previous Higher Ed companies I have worked for have had a fairly strong and rewarding bonus structure which has been a pretty low return at HotChalk.

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

The level of trust between leadership & the rest of the company is completely broken - employees have stated that they do not trust senior leadership across the board. Direct reports seem to receive the brunt of the accountability. Cheerleaders do not matter when the players are terrible.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Listening to the people - there are a lot of great ideas out there that are overlooked everyday. Also cutting ties with problematic people - there are a lot of people still working in the company that have been openly divisive & counter culture. Yet, they still exist and that has been disheartening.
