I love the brand and I love the product. I came in from a major competitor ready to help and succeed only to find that this company isn't set up for success. It's slow, archaic and employees are hired based on cultural similarities not merit and based on quality experience. Its an inefficient system

What do you like best about the leadership team?

They are very driven for success - which is great. But their means are very archaic and seem to be inefficient and unproductive.

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

There needs to be proactive EXTERNAL training of employees. Not internal trainings that seem very old-school and weirdly not relevant to US employees. Also we need systems that make people more productive. The systems we use here are getting in the way of productivity

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Hard to say - LG seems like a weird outlier sometimes, but having out healthcare is maybe one really great thing we all agree on as being very positive, but in context it always seems like a basic necessity and more should be done for culture and employees

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

It feels like we are just a number here. I have worked so many nights/weekends and beyond the expected 40-50 hours and instead of being rewarded it sets a precedent that I'm a work horse that should be given more work. Very counterproductive and burns people out like this.

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

The leadership, weirdly enough, doesn't seem to understand they are IN THE WAY of success. LG needs to get out of its own way and run like a company in 2021, not something with archaic tools/systems. We don't even have basic email like outlook/gmail. We use a system that is outdated & inefficient.
