What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The PTO plan is excellent, the bonus plan, while confusing, is ultimately rewarding, and the onsite clinic is a valuable benefit.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Regional politics often hinder day-to-day tasks. While we aim to be transformative, these political issues, prevalent at all levels, obstruct progress. Reducing political interference and focusing on clear, unified goals would greatly improve effectiveness.

I feel undervalued because our compensation isn't competitive with the market. I want to stay, but our budget constraints limit us. Similar roles at our sister companies offer about 30% more, making it difficult to feel adequately compensated for my work.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
