Review from Operations Dept

because competition has higher compensation and I am aware that co-workers with less experience and habilities get higher compensation.

Review from Business Development Dept

Better raises instead of tiny bonuses

Review from Finance Dept

Personally, I'm grateful for everything that the company does for me and everyone. I feel inflation has gone too high and it has been a little hard to manage everything with the compensation package currently.

Review from Operations Dept

A large part of it is due to the effects of rapid inflation on the value of our money; it just doesn't cover as much as it use to. It would take either a drastic decrease in inflation and interest rates on loans, or annual increases in compensation the match or exceed the rate of inflation.

Review from Operations Dept

As a younger employee at Smith, I don't feel properly compensated. We always pivot and make the best out of tough situations. My main life stress is being able to pay for food, rent, insurance, and school. The good benefits don't make up for the low wages. I don't need the majority of the benefits.

Review from Operations Dept

Higher base salary. It would never cause me to leave but I do think they could do better. It has been brought to my manager's attention.

Review from Sales Dept

Getting paid the same as other companies pay their employees with similar job title and responsibilities. Hardly any room for negotiation on pay, we're expected to be grateful with getting paid at all.

Review from Sales Dept

it would be nice to receive a salary increase

Review from Sales Dept

A higher base salary would

Review from Sales Dept

yes. a promotion or a new role to grow within the company.

Review from Operations Dept

I have no additional comments.

Review from Operations Dept

The base salary is extremely low for all employees of Smith, across the board. Everyone deserves ample raise especially those who live in satellite offices with Houston salaries. Every state and country is different and we should get compensated as such, rather than spending thousands on fish tanks.
