What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Benefits, pto, work life balance, professional development

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

Compensation Reviews

Pay could be more aligned with industry/role averages

Review from Communications Dept

The two most costly things for a business are employee salaries and paying for a physical location. Since we are fully remote I feel like salaries should be able to be more competitive than they currently are.

Review from IT Dept

I think salaries need to be adjusted especially with inflation.

Review from Operations Dept

Compared to other areas of the market, as well as other agencies in our industry, I feel like we're a bit underpaid. Pay structures are not clear, pay bands are not openly communicated, and raises and bonuses seem like murky processes. Our benefits are good.

Review from Marketing Dept

Commission can make compensation highly variable. Promotions are given instead of keeping employees' salaries in their current roles competitive. I would feel valued if SmartBug proactively increased salary (or benefits!) without requiring us to advocate for sub-inflation adjustments

Review from Marketing Dept

several rounds of interview with manager and a team mate
