What would you improve about your company's interview process?

Stop making people take Excel tests and focus more on the quality of the applicants.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

There is no leadership. There are just people who are put into executive positions that are emotionally unhinged and who enjoy belittling the people that work for them.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

As long as the owner continues to allow executives with low emotional IQ to thrive and destroy what little culture there is left, nothing can be done to improve the increasingly toxic work environment.

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

There is very limited professionalism. The company operates more like a high school than a professional corporation. They need to stop perpetuating and overlooking the bad behaviors of their employees if they want to prevent quality professionals from leaving.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

I will continue to repeat that an unstable, emotionally unhinged executive is the key problem with this company. They set the tone for a pervasive toxic culture. Unless they are willing to change and remove the toxic elements from their ranks, nothing will improve.

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

Until the people in charge learn to value their employees and pay real market value, there is nothing that can be done to correct the compensation issues. As a privately owned company, they will continue to undervalue their employees in order to keep the profits for only a select few.
