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.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The best part of my compensation package is my salary.
Review from Marketing Dept · Posted 2 days ago
The health care seems competitive, at least coming from a state agency. Biannual bonuses are good. I'm still not sure if there's an advantage to ESOP over 401K match, but seems to be good so far. I really don't like that I get so little vacation and wellness leave.
Posted 6 days ago
The ESOP is directly reflective of the effort we put into our projects. Our accelerated vacation accrual is also exceptional.

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?
I don't believe I'm paid competitively and I dislike that 401k is not matches because I don't see the benefits of the ESOP very much and it doesn't grow quickly.
Review from Marketing Dept · Posted 2 days ago
I believe corporate overstandardization of roles and pay scales hurt smaller offices where employees must complete the job description of multiple people

During a lateral position move I was informed that I'd been at the bottom of the wage range for my original title, and my own supervisor revealed that when moving to the new title in a different department, that director and VP wanted to offer me MORE but supervisor refused. Result? Feel undervalued

I am glad I get to explain my response. I am new to SWCA, and took a pay cut to come here, but I have discovered that SWCA's pay is lower than average. That is fine right now because I am still learning. I want to see how the bonus situation pays out because it may bring me to my previous pay.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
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.
Pay us more money please
