Not enough support staff (HR especially, IT, etc.) Supervisors and up could do minimal work/not follow policies

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

My co-workers are all excellent.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

The leadership team is divorced from the reality of running a business day-to-day. They don't understand or trust assessments given by those beneath them.

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

The base pay is easily 10,000/year behind what other comparable non-profits pay for the same position. Benefits are good, but other organizations outshine by offering free parking, 100% health/dental, free public transit, free lunch/snacks, flexible vacation time, etc.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Staff need to be given higher wages and all staff - regardless of level - need to be treated with respect and allowed to speak out if they disagree with policies or upper management without fear of reprisal.

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

- Increase wages for all. Be competitive to reduce turnover. - Supervisors, Managers, etc. must be held to the same standards as everyone else. Feels as though there is no oversight for management; can perform poorly/do bare minimum and not face discipline/termination (except extreme violations).
