What do you like best about the leadership team?

Leadership Reviews

They are receptive to feedback and give autonomy.

Review from Sales Dept

Straightforward communication and accountability. Pro-work/life balance.

Review from Sales Dept

I love that they are always willing to help with open arms!

Review from Customer Success Dept

I love how everyone is so supportive and is always answering questions when they arise.

Review from Sales Dept

Involvement of the leaders to help.

Review from Engineering Dept

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

I would like the leadership team to value employee health by focusing on results, rather than time spent working. One person wearing multiple hats will never be as productive as one person with one clearly defined role. Your entire employee base needs to at least double in size.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Understand customer needs; focus on reasonably-sized goals; value and practice transparency within the organization

Review from Customer Success Dept

The management team needs to take a close look at the org structure as a whole. If one manager is overseeing more than 5 people, that indicates that there's a gap in leadership. Too many entry-level employees are doing manager-style work because of those gaps.

communication of goals and expectations.

Review from Sales Dept

retaining employees. being transparent on goals both achieved and failed. stop manipulating/adjusting employee compensation. remove the okr of internal csat from bonus payout (huge conflict of interest). reorg less often. lessen the issue of understaffing. be charismatic. encourage critical feedback

Review from Customer Support Dept

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

Benefits are good. Compensation is fair. All around satisfied.

Review from Sales Dept

Strong salary, rather than most of my compensation derived from commissions.

Review from Sales Dept

The fact I can earn a bonus based off the companies accomplishments.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Health, dental, vision insurance is really nice to have

Review from Sales Dept

The best part is the salary

Review from Engineering Dept

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

Compensation Reviews

The pay scale for my position, generally/in the industry, has shifted upward dramatically, and I my salary has not kept up.

Review from Marketing Dept

Compensation needs to be competitive with other companies in the industry. Example: A person in my role, at Google, makes almost $80K. I don't make anywhere near that. It is hard to stay at a company when compensation is so much higher somewhere else and makes employees feel undervalued.

Review from Customer Success Dept

I am paid below market rate given my experience level and the measure of success I've had at RedShelf. A 401k match, market-equivalent pay, and more junior team members to take on some of the more mundane tasks that I've grown beyond would go a long way.

I would like to make more money

Review from Customer Success Dept

We wear a lot of different hats and do a lot of different things. Especially when it comes to billing. Most companies have separate teams that carry out customer service and billing duties and there should be a separation of powers there. I have also taken on a lot more heavy hitting accounts.

Review from Customer Success Dept

What are some of the best things about your team?

Team Reviews

Hardworking, genuinely care about the company and its future success

Review from Sales Dept

Open dialogue, helpful attitude, no ego.

Review from Sales Dept

Everyone is always smiling and willing to help.

Review from Customer Success Dept

the willingness to work together

Review from Customer Success Dept

Everyone wants to see each other succeed and is very supportive of one another

Review from Sales Dept

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

Hybrid work requires more clear & frequent communication across verticals.

Review from Operations Dept

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

Our work directly benefits our customer base in a lasting and meaningful way.

Review from Sales Dept

They have created an environment where I feel comfortable being myself always offering words of encouragement.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Everyone is so passionate about the products and I believe that RedShelf is an amazing company and love what we do.

Team concept. Accountability to each other. Belief that things will get better.

Review from Customer Success Dept

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

Outlook Reviews

Rapid growth requires rapid scaling (of the business.) We need more people - and fast!

Review from Operations Dept

I have had at least two VPs tell me you cannot be successful only working 40 hours a week at RedShelf, but none saw that as a problem. My advice? Start with the org structure. One manager should never be responsible for managing more than 5 people..

Review from Customer Success Dept

Same comments as management team question

Review from Customer Success Dept

Dedicated attention on training. Been here a year and moved around a lot. No training to speak of.

Review from Sales Dept

inaccurate invoicing and billing of clients. by tens of thousands of dollars. cfo encouraged not paying a publisher until they noticed we witheld payment. there's no discovery of initiatives with external stakeholders

Review from Customer Support Dept
