Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Involved in the day to day work
Champion issues that matter most, care about employees.
Honest and very transparent with their employees
They seem to be looking to advance technology.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Listening to employees, and being willing to concede or compromise. Being willing to compensate long term employees and reward tenure. Dealing with staffing issues, and replacing exiting positions instead of forcing absorption of the work.
Understanding the common person and what matters to them.
The organization is very bureaucrat in nature, and very disorganized. The senior team has very little knowledge of how the organization really works. They really need to get out of there offices/meetings and walk the shoes of of the doers to really understand what's wrong and how to improve.
To be more compassionate with the employees.
They need to make people enjoy there job and stop trying to make things more complicated. I think the intentionally try to make things worst. They need to learn how to talk to there employees better.

What is the best part about your compensation package?
Bonus pay is good, could be better
Balances short and long term incentives for performance.
I have 6 weeks vacation and all federal holidays off, matching 401k

The 401K Employee contribution is pretty good.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
They pay younger workers more that well establish employees and should fix that. Younger employees are being paid as much if not more than the managers they report to with years of experience.
higher pay, better work environment better benefits
Review from Operations Dept
I feel like others in different depts. At the same level do much less work for the same pay.
Benefits are not as good as when the company was Wilmington Trust.
Since we work with money we should get paid more than the little bit of money that we get. The new hires are making almost the same amount as people who have been there for years. Since we work with money and HIPPA accounts we should get paid a lot more

The interview itself was wonderful. Those I met with were friendly, professional, and upbeat.
It was a simple two step process with a phone interview followed by an in person interview.

What makes you most happy at work?
The immediate managers and team leads tend to understand the challenges and successes. They are easy to provide accolades when appropriate.
Delivering quality work, collaborating with peers to solve issues
My co workers and the satisfaction of fixing problems at work
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The constant negativity from the management team. If you work 10 hours should be 12 hours, etc. Nothing is good. One manager berated one of his team members right in front of the team. This is not some one off, it is more the norm.
Management needs to come down off their high horses.
There shouldn't be a department at the company that says that makes you stay over everyday. There should be a cut off time for the work. We have lives outside of the workplace. I understand the job is until finish but finish should still have a deadline.
Review from Operations Dept
Work is boring, but the people are fun to be with at least.
