Positive Reviews From Surkus Employees
- What are some of the best things about your team?We are all working together towards the same goal so I feel like all our meetings are fun problem solving conversations.
- What makes you most happy at work?Hearing when we way over deliver for a client which usually means our members loved an event or offer we had.
- What did you like most about the interview process?Getting to meet with the executive team so I could hear all about company vision.
Constructive Feedback From Surkus Employees
- What's going wrong and how can it be improved?My previous comments should speak to this, but the company will never succeed as long as the current CEO is leading the charge with the existing management team. They NEED to figure it out.
- What needs to change to make the company culture better?The culture is so bad. Everyone gossips, leadership is awful, morale is worst I’ve seen in my career but managers don’t care or do anything to try to help build spirits within their own teams much less the company as a whole.
- What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?Everyone is stressed, egos are larger than life, overall knowledge and skill levels are misaligned and leadership does nothing to support team building/development so the vibe is stressful and everyone is bitter
