What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Clear communication of goals, expectations, and progress on both projects and overall performance.
Everything, especially act on feedback from employees rather say they and do nothing!
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Pay levels lag behind comparable companies in comparable roles requiring masters-and-above education. Most benefits are middling at best. Lack of stock options (private compan) is not offset by the measly bonus offering. "Racine is cheap to live in" is not a credible defense.
Raises are always pennies no matter how hard you work. No clear objectives are ever laid out to obtain the compensation desired.
Few sick days. Little to no vacation days. Suspicious ways of counting years (the New Year specifically) to make employees use more sick days (because vacation days are not a thing) than necessary.
Yes, performance based merit increases
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Be more inclusive and welcome diversity
Helpful communication. A less competitive and cut throat environment could actually be beneficial. Look at the downfall of Enron oil, gas, and electricity. It became a brutal fight of man against man as 25% of the workforce was fired every term. Learn from others' mistakes.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Free sunscreen doesn't make employees excited. Clear communication on the direction of the company would work better. Maybe the illustrious Fisk could come from up on high and mingle with us peasants once in a while, instead of opening another pretentious exhibit in Chicago
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Accurately describing what the job would be. That would've saved some heartache.
Less unnecessary and redundant hurdles to jump over or nonsensical hoops to jump through.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Proctor and Gamble and Private Label are going to push SC Johnson out of the market before long. Customers don't want to pay "premium prices" for tiny scented candles or oils or chemicals.
Extremely high turnover rate. Compensate properly and offer more flexibility for work/life balance.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
innovation, decision making, synergies between commercial and GPS team
