Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They are like your friend
Good communication skills and always willing to help
They are all nice people.
There willingness to help point one in the right direction when issues of personal situations may arise is helpful
It's not lip service, they really care about the employees, the customers, and our long-term success and not just shareholders (although we care about them too!
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Stop playing favorites all the time
Ray Teague has completely destroyed the employees here. The old style of management is done. People aren’t tired of working, they’re tired of catch all the shit and not getting a piece of the pie. Turn over rate is through the roof. But management will turn around and say it’s us. Mirrors for
Not lying or pushing others to lie to save face and look good to higher senior members. Follow guidelines and not pencil whip them to save time and money. There is a reason that this location has a huge turnover rate.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Use to be the work envioment
Vacation time and insurance program
The time off we get
Insurance and 401k are okay
It's average at best, maybe below average in many regions and industries.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Stocks and options are only working for the very top executives, it drops off very fast, and while the top tier make millions the regular folks get by with raises that never keep up with inflation even when the company is doing well.
Everyone receives the same excuses and same rate of pay to include raises. There is no reason to stem to excel at your job. No appreciation from manager and no compensation for time when working through lunches to keep the plant productive.
What are some of the best things about your team?
There are many very professional people at LP who are striving to do their best every day. But there are also many who are too focused on turf building and creating red tape to justify their jobs. Also, many who have only worked here think this is the only way to get things done.
Our communications within our group and we support each other
The maintenance team is the only team there is. Everyone else is here for themselves and a paycheck.
They work hard, are very passionate yet frugal to a default. They frequently sacrifice for the best interests of our clients but can sometimes be petty or a little mean when overworked or stressed out. They work very closely like family which is both bad and good.
Everyone is willing to help at any time, even put in overtime hours just to help solve issues. Almost everyone is open minded and open to knew ideas or activities for the group.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Coworkers are great as far as my team goes but the office personnel are horrific! A lesson in ethics and moral code could make a difference or someone actually monitoring their work and morals.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
We work together to solve problems
The company likes to say there is a culture, if there is I can't tell you what it is, HR brings it up frequently but they can't articulate it either. Our culture is to do your work and go home. We don't do things together, we don't have company picnics, team building or do anything together.
I work with very talented and highly professional people who get along most of the time.
My department & community within the company
Really the people, often management when they understand us they try to support us and are always open to hearing ideas and suggestions. Sometimes slow to act on them but they prefer to be methotical and cautious rather than rash.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
We need to weed out the ones who done want to stay alert and work we have older one who think they have been there so long so they dont have to do there jobs to me that is not good work ethics
What did you like most about the interview process?
It was very fast and easy
How easy it was at the time
The talk of advantages of advancement within the company & prospects of running the company if I assisted in a thriving company to the success. But I'm beginning to think that it may have only been a sales pitch?
The potential to learn new things
The people who interviewed and hired me, sadly they have all retired or moved on.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Remove the HR and Recruiting people from the process. They just add complexity and red tape and think they know what we need but are often wrong or misguided.
What makes you most happy at work?
When I can simply do my job, please my customers, and produce great work without interference or woke nonsense getting in the way.
Freedom to do my work the way I want to do it, recognition that I have the skills and talent needed to do my job and don't require meddling or micromanagement.
The possibilities of my advancements
When I can see that I made an impact, changed a mind, or convinced management to act. Or had the opportunity to mentor and teach.
It's a pretty laid back environment. It never feels rushed or like theirs always a deadline to be met.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Work is just a continued thing very bland but that’s to be expected
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Reduce the red tape, committees, and get rid of departments/people who seem there to say no to everything rather than finding ways to be brave and innovative. Modernize, everything! Departments should dictate to IT how to serve their needs, not the other way around.
not really too sure about that
