What do you like best about the leadership team?

Leadership Reviews

Vision and communication helps us understand where the company his going

there is no transparency. They tend to feed executives. I have heard executives making comments like 'floor people' to lowest wage earners

practical, open, reliable, kind, respected

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

The executive team needs to take employee concerns seriously and follow through with meaningful action. The constant micromanagement creates a stressful environment and takes a real toll on mental health.

Leave staff alone to do what they're good at instead of diving headfirst into something they know little about thinking they can "improve" it.

Consulting with employees; understanding what employees do and what they need

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

Great benefits and bonus plan

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

Compensation Reviews

They don't actually listen to your recommendations. They'll have meetings to discuss issues but just do whatever they feel like despite valid concerns raised.

There is zero motivation to training. There is no skill updates. They want cheap foreign worker but won't train in-house people. They have fired people working for 2 decades in a phone call.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Team Reviews

Colleagues get along well; atmosphere is friendly and jovial

Dedication to our company mission

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

Team Reviews

Have some real technical skills. The entire IT department is severely lacking and bringing the entire service down.

generally, coworkers are nice but may be cooked up resumes

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

Environment Reviews

The team are friendly and encouraging

Have fun and hang out togther

free food every two days a week for selected workers

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

Micromanaging needs to stop. If you want to keep quality employees, executive level staff need to relinquish control, even though that might be difficult for them to do. They should guide if necessary, but actually listen to those at the ground level who have more valid input than they realize.

What did you like most about the interview process?

Interviews Reviews

Met all the senior execs

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

Interviews Reviews

I honestly do not know.

What makes you most happy at work?

Outlook Reviews

interacting with colleagues and contractors; getting fan feedback

Seeing my friends and coworker

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

Outlook Reviews

Bringing the service down and reducing performance. You should have left the service alone after you acquired it. It was working perfectly.

they totally need to raise the salaries of the lowest paid workers. CEO and executives make over half million, while the lowest paid probably makes $20K/year
