Ensuring that project level employees have enough hours to remain full time since we can not work outside of the company

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

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

ESOP enrollment plus optional 401k

The rates are fair, and having an opportunity to participate in the esop program is a great perk.

The ESOP and being employee owned

As a long-term employee, it would be vacation accrual and ESOP.

My favorite is th wellness hours and ERG.

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

Compensation Reviews

SWCA still pays below market opposed to others.

I believe corporate overstandardization of roles and pay scales hurt smaller offices where employees must complete the job description of multiple people

increase pay to better keep up with inflation

Being paid a livable wage, having a retirement plan that was actually valuable for non managers

I believe i take on more work than my position and am not adequately compensated for that effort.

The people are fantastic, the projects are engaging and challenging, and there always seems to be an opportunity to grow in some way.

When I have the time to make sure my best quality of work is done.

completing tasks and meeting timelines

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

Outlook Reviews

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.

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.

The C suite thinks that they understand their employees but really they just have their heads in the sand.
