I left due to the toxic environment. It is in every department and permeates all levels. Leadership does not care about the employees and does not support any one who does. It is a demoralizing and stressful environment most days.

What did you like most about the interview process?

The interviewers were transparent about my process and gave feedback at all stages.

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

Change corporate leadership, replace all Senior Directors and the executive leadership team, they are the problem.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Strategic leadership and partnership within the organization. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion put into practice and doing what you say and saying what you do.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Allow managers to build and trim teams as needed as long as they can justify it. Stop making decisions about things that don't really impact Directors their responsibility to sign off. It is ridiculous.

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

The level of work and hours required of salaried employees makes the entire compensation calculation based on 40 hours per week null. The benefits are not useful in real situations, when they are needed the most. Everything is based off NC and other sites suffer.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Everyone at the local level is hanging on by a thread. There is so much that we could accomplish if the employees who make the money were listened to, but they continue to allow people who work in a corporate office decide what happens for the masses. Stop doing one-size fits all policies, etc.
