What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

need more than 300 characters

Review from Marketing Dept

Having clear goals and objectives. Promoting/acknowledging team members who deserve it. Taking time to check in with their team members / making sure they are reaching their own career goals.

Review from Marketing Dept

Have a true long term vision for what Leaf Group is striving to be. Since I've joined the company three years ago, there has been minimal change or any real strategy applied to growing this business, other than selling off the entire company to Graham.

Review from Finance Dept

Hold people accountable, set due dates, urge people to act on urgent items, and not pass it off to the next person because the next action item is 'not their job'. too much focus on having a good time and being friendly versus actually doing hard work. then when shit hits the fan, everyone panics.

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

Compensation Reviews

clear pathway to growth / comp

Review from Marketing Dept

I think the overall hiring and promo freezes really hold back talent and while the eventual hiring and compensation bumps are appreciated, the time spent waiting is not really accounted for and therefore feels like lost time.

There is an expectation that team members will take on more work when people quit/are fired/go on maternity leave then are not compensated for it.

Review from Marketing Dept

Given the size of the team that I manage, the daily responsibilities, attention to detail, level of effort, coordination with business units, and technical background required to perform successfully in my position, I don't feel that the company truly values everything that goes into the role.

Review from Finance Dept

I feel I'm under market value in the area

Review from Engineering Dept

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

Team Reviews

communication, attention to detail, feel like im going over the same thing a million times with other teams they dont retain what needs to be done

Review from Operations Dept

Review from Marketing Dept

as stated with the leadership team, hold people accountable. stop trying to be people's friend's. a business needs to get things done and you can do that without all the fluff. my coworker's team has come to me with the same frustrations, but everyone tiptoe's around them

I think my team could use some better communication strategies, everyone has a tendency to be off in their own world.

Review from Engineering Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

I believe an org rehaul would help to align goals and run a more effective business.

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

Outlook Reviews

In the past two years, we've lost many perks that were once competitive. Annual RSUs, commuter benefits, free Friday lunches. Why were these not translated into WFH benefits like office equipment stipends, monthly Door Dash gift cards, etc.

I was promised a temp to permanent hire position and I worked as a temp for a full year before I was added on as permanent even though there was a huge need for my position. Temp workers are expected to do the exact same job as the full time employees in my department for less pay, no pto.

Review from Operations Dept

No clear goals or strategy from leadership.

Review from Marketing Dept

Nothing is going wrong necessarily. Now that we are part of Graham and no longer a public-facing company, it makes it a less exciting dynamic, and the future of where Leaf is headed is still unclear.

Review from Finance Dept

more competent people who want to push the business forward rather than always looking to the past because the future scares them.we have to move on&get over the pandemic because things will never return to what they were beforehand. can't blame covid for things going wrong when they were broken b4
