I love the people who work under me. I do not like the senior leadership in our "division". They are bonus driven, not people driven.

What makes you most happy at work?

Interacting with my employees, and helping them grow.

What did you like most about the interview process?

I got to see those who would report to me.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

It is really clear that they are working hard for their bonus. They also don't have good communication around issues that matter the most to employees- pay, benefits, safety issues, etc.

What are some of the best things about your team?

I love the team I lead. They bring out the best in me and each other. I insulate them from the management above me, since they are not good leaders, and lack good leadership training.

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

In my area- people tell jokes, and love to come to work. We provide them food and snacks and healthy outlets and activities. However, this is from our internal managers, not from our senior leadership. We make our own culture internally, not our senior leadership.

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

Based on the headcount of my operation, the gross income it brings in and my skill set- and compare to others outside of MARS, the compensation is low, yet the demands are high. I would feel better if I had a yearly salary review, and about 15K more to match what my peers are making in similar field
