What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Follow the same standards employees of the company are expected to meet. We're told to work as a team, but leadership will leave early while telling us to stay after our assigned hours to get an order out. Pay earned and work done also has never aligned to the current market.

Open, and honest communication with all the employees. Every employee has different needs which needs different strategies to be met.

Onboarding needs improvement, little to no mentoring is provided. Actual team management and training are also an issue. The feedback provided by team leaders is strictly based on sales numbers. They are busy with their accounts and are not able to provide qualitative feedback to improve results

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Team Reviews

Be more compassionate to other coworkers internally. The coworkers in my office have a 'it's for me or for nothing' approach. They don't think about the feelings about other coworkers and are selfish. Especially when there are time constraints that are not possible or when things don't go their way.

Review from Sales Dept

Accountability is preached but never put into action. There has never been an issue here where someone wasn't ready to place the blame on someone else.

Review from Sales Dept

There is a clear difference between the locals and the international employees. Locals could make efforts to be more inclusive and respectful. Jokes on the clothing or belongings should not be tolerated, and when HR representatives should take actions when witnessing such behaviours

It's just a slog when it's slow

several teams in office and not help each. It maybe the company culture but it can be better. We felt management was not really help us but only for themselves. Team needs to start to gel.
