Overall it has been a good experience, it would be beneficial for the organization to require leaders to take mandatory leadership training so they can grow better and improve their mentorship of their teams.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Most of our team are kind people and they can do decent work.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Most people in other departments are pretty friendly and want the same things, for Smith to be successful and a known brand name in our industry.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
The leadership team is very reactionary to the immediate needs of the market. They do not have a long term outlook on the companies future growth and this limits their ability to continue to grow the organization.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
There is a lack of effective leadership in several areas, including my own department. There is a lack of accountability and unwillingness to collaborate with other departments, creating tension. We should all be aligned toward the same goal of making Smith successful and not butt heads internally.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The compensation is slightly below average. I enjoy the work that I do, but I do not get the words of affirmation or genuine appreciation from my manager or team. The organization needs to train their leaders how to show appreciation to their employees to increase the morale organization wide.
