What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leading. Actually caring about their staff. It runs like a fast food franchise.

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

Cut about 5 of the interviews off. Keep it simple. Hire at a good wage.

What are some of the best things about your team?

They care and try in spite of the sheer madness ftom anyone director level or higher.

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

No care for customers. They want to be a premium brand but dont want to put the $$$ or effort into creating that experience.

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

Underpaid. Never hit promised bonuses. Slow to replace staff so everyone covers more than their job. So much so its a joke. Good people are grinded down and burned out.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

CEO, CMO and several directors need to go. Whole org needs to be expanded and not flat. Why do specialists report to a director? They need to actually care about retaining quality staff and not hire wash outs from more prestigious firms at firector level or higher.
