down to earth, invested and believe in the work, and will invest in staff to take us there
Review from Admin Dept · Posted 16 days ago
They seem authentic and care about the people and the company long-term.
Review from Executive Dept · Posted 20 days ago
They speak with transparency, share their time and always communicate with us.
Review from Finance Dept
They have delivered on promises and shown they care about us as people
Review from Admin Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication of expectations with employees
Employee ownership should mean that rank and file employees have more of a say in the direction of the company. The leadership team needs to align the clients it pursues with its claims regarding sound science and environmental sustainability.
1) Not voting to terminate employees with 30 years of tenure during chemotherapy; 2) Stop promoting AI without extra training about its dangers, and drawbacks.
Ensuring that project level employees have enough hours to remain full time since we can not work outside of the company
Consolidate and pay us more money

ESOP and the compensation are great
Review from Admin Dept · Posted 16 days ago
Combined total rewards - between base, any bonus, ESOP, wellness, and flexible work model - there are a lot of benefits.
Review from Executive Dept · Posted 20 days ago
The package is sufficient. Not one particular favorite.
Review from Finance Dept
The overtime opportunities are quite competitive
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
We pay poorly, we habe heard "we are working on compensation and matching to industry standards" for years. Health insurance goes up more than we get in raises. Just say you are going to pay us more and be up front.
Review from IT Dept · Posted 10 days ago
SWCA still pays below market opposed to others.
There doesn't seem to be a clear path to getting a promotion.
Review from HR Dept
I feel salaries are lagging the actual economy, and do not seem right for my level of experience and responsibility. A raise of about 25% would do it.
I am not undervalued, but I do feel like I am being underpaid.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Very willing to help one another and go above and beyond when needed.

we work together, care personally and professionally, minimal egos

My team works together and we don't have people working in silos. We are aligned with the company core values.
Review from Executive Dept · Posted 20 days ago
Reliable and employee owner vibe.
Review from Finance Dept
Different, interesting people with varied backgrounds.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
I'd like to see more of our employees care about the quality of their work.
Participate more, show up to meetings, share knowledge, improve communication skills, mentor each other, be honest about work load.
They need to be more responsive.
Better communication and more teamwork consideration. Some tasks are left for me to do when it could have been done while my coworker was in office and I was remote.
Review from Admin Dept
I have noticed a trend toward employees at the field level matter the position not respecting other peoples opinions or approaches
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The human aspect with healthy personal/work boundaries.

we dont take ourselves too seriously, but we do take our work seriously and put our all into delivering quality to clients and projects. but the culture is down to earth, fun and engaging
Review from Admin Dept · Posted 16 days ago
The people and our employee ownership culture make the difference.
Review from Executive Dept · Posted 20 days ago
Our leaders care about us as people. We are all here to make money and too often the employees are just numbers. Our LT seems to care about us as much as the money we make together.
Review from Finance Dept
It's real, its not just a poster of the core values. We have a collaborate and learning mindset.
Review from Admin Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Quit the fake positive culture nonesense. The ESOP presentation on the all comapny call sounded like a hostage video.
Review from IT Dept · Posted 10 days ago
Better pay would boost morale.

I was given plenty of time and opportunity to ask questions of my interviews to help me better understand the role I was interviewing for and make an informed career decision.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Juat more work, pressure to be billable, amd blamed for low productivity when we dont control how much work there is
Review from IT Dept · Posted 10 days ago
stress! too much stress! We have demanding roles and i don't feel we get enough decompression time or support in managing our stress. I would like to see a companywide stress management plan and program.
There is not enough time allowed for training. The speed at which work must be done is currently unattainable for me at my current level.
The workload is overwhelming and at times unmanageable.
Review from HR Dept
Its largely making sure full time employees have at least 40 hours and do not have to use pto to cover their hours to ensure 40.
