What makes you most happy at work?My work schedule is very flexible
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?They try to be there for us
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?Benefits are average at best compared to competitors - not a discriminator that helps attract and retain talent, usually an obstacle to overcome when interviewing- e.g. 401K plan not a good deal for younger employees. 80% of company contribution is in stock which can't be sold until later in life
