Used to be great. Now they move people into higher positions without higher pay. Input to Sr. management is rarely listened to and often ignored. Company culture is very negative and people are sometimes rude. Sr leadership passes emails around talking bad about employees. Turn over is high.

What are some of the best things about your team?

My team has very intelligent people on it. If Senior Management listened to them and their concerns this company would be unstoppable. I have never found any change request to our processes to be unreasonable or illogical.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Sr Leadership should appreciate its employees and celebrate successes. Compensation should be given with promotion. Sr Leadership should clear road blocks for employees within its processes. Better technical training should be given, greater education should be rewarded and encouraged.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

More honest categorization of employees is needed on every level. Evaluate the jobs you have people in with their labor category/day to day work. Give management and leads pay to be management and leads. What's the point of striving for promotion if you don't get compensated for it?

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Sr leadership could do a better job at listening. Staying positive. "If everything is a priority, nothing is a priority." They could be more selective on what they force into unrealistic timelines. Treating issues as a chance to learn instead of an opportunity to berate employees in front of others.

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

The requirements for promotion are inconsistent and change based on who you talk to. Company should provide clear roadmap for what is needed to be promoted and what is expected that is different in each position. Once the roadmap is created for each position it needs to be clearly communicated.
