B2C low pay but more opportunity

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

Very low compensation, no bonuses or promotion tracks. Benefits are decent but too expensive considering the low base salaries. Leave benefits good but don't kick in until 5 years tenure. Employee wellness benefits is access to an app. Lots of workshops for growth/development for management only

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Take care of employees and customers. Follow through on promises. Stop letting egos rule. The mission of the company is excellent but the egos of leadership and upper and middle management ruin culture. There is so much untapped talent getting smothered by bad leaders. Dont shun dissent.

What makes you most happy at work?

Peers are wonderful and supportive. The small group working meetings are the best part of working here. When we can work around leadership red tape and actually serve students and partners, wonderful things happen. Company has a strong and respectable mission and I know I'm making a difference

What are some of the best things about your team?

Peers are smart, hard working, supportive. If the teams rolled directly into c-suite, life would be much better. The people doing the grind are great. Some are lucky to have good leaders but many are not. Teams often dont get credit for their excellent work since manager or director takes to c-suite
