Constructive Feedback From SPEC Employees

  • What would you most like to see improved at your company?
    It'd be nice to see HR & DE&I policies interwoven into every practice & process within the company.
  • What would you improve about your company's interview process?
    Transparency! Don't tell incoming employees what you think they WANT to hear; tell them the truth - even if it isn't the prettiest! Honesty is ALWAYS the best policy.
  • What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
    There needs to be a truly UNBIASED HR Dept. - one that is not headed by the CEO's wife & employs DE&I protocols - within the company. No one working at Spec is trained &/or certified in HR Management & DE&I. Also, the very apparent pay inequity within the company MUST be fixed. YIKES!
