People are kind and mean well, but most of them are being exploited.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

We have great insurance. We are paid fairly.

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

I enjoy working from home and I hope that remains an option.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Everyone on the team is hard working. They have a diverse skill set and impressive backgrounds, but unfortunately roles aren't clearly defined enough for them to display their talents.

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

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..

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

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.
