What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

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

Clueless on workload, low skilled, young and inexperienced

Review from Engineering Dept

Leadership is out of touch with what's wrong around here. I'm tired of seeing all these initiatives that go nowhere. It's annoying having to track my work in 3-4 trackers because new leadership has new ideas to help us track work. Our tech to do our jobs is cheap because of cost causing more issues.

Listening to what mid and lower tier employees have to say about their experiences

Compensation Reviews

Matching industry rates and time off.

Review from Finance Dept · Posted 18 hours ago

compensation is barely at target for my industry and level, i also think doing bare minimum benefits does not count as valuing employees

Posted a day ago

It feels stagnant when it comes to performance and compensation. Being able to get to that next level is difficult even though performance says that next level is right there

Review from Finance Dept · Posted 2 days ago

I am doing the work of multiple positions. I am being asked to be more stretgic but it is almost impossible when I am overloaded with tactical work because I don't have the support.

Review from Admin Dept · Posted 2 days ago

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

Team Reviews

I have noticed a trend toward employees at the field level matter the position not respecting other peoples opinions or approaches

My coworkers in particular provide unnecessary criticism when they are stressed out.

A fully remote model poses may challenges to communication that I don't think SWCA has been able to fully overcome. It has created a lack of cohesiveness and comradery that leaves you feeling like its every man for himself instead of a group of people working together to accomplish a common goal.

Many of the co-workers i worked closely with in the psst have left SWCA. I don't feel the connevtion that i omce had

I never really interact with many of my coworkers so it sort of feels like I am on an island

Review from Operations Dept

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Environment Reviews

Being part of an ESOP.

Review from Finance Dept · Posted 18 hours ago

While we’ve always been the same company at our core, employee ownership has allowed for creativity and independent thinking. As the organization has grown, increased structure has made that feel less prominent, and

Review from HR Dept · Posted a day ago

the company feels hopeful - like we're moving in a positive direction

Posted a day ago

It sounds cliche, but I really do feel like we are a family. Don't get me wrong, not like your home family, but in the sense that everyone seems to treat each other with respect and everyone wants others around them to be successful and happy.

Review from Finance Dept · Posted 2 days ago

Respect and a collaborative approach to working

Posted a day ago

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.

Posted 2 days ago

The workload is overwhelming and at times unmanageable.

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.
