Communication, a listening ear and implementation of company changes as the living needs and concerns of employees arise.

Review from Admin Dept · Posted 3 days ago

Approachable and fun. Our all-staff meetings are engaging and I enjoy hearing from each of them. They seem to care about what they do. I also enjoy that many people on the leadership team have been with the company for a long time.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

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

Review from HR Dept · Posted 6 days ago

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

Compensation Reviews

I support a large sized office in various departments tasks required and asked of me. Some tasks are auto assumed they belong under my scope of service. For a long while, I assisted without getting paid for support and tasks that took much of my time. And time away from my actual duties.

Review from Admin Dept · Posted 3 days ago

Matching industry rates and time off.

Review from Finance Dept · Posted 5 days 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 5 days 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 6 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.

Most of us collaborate effectively and prioritize mutual success over individual advancement.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 5 days ago

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

Team Reviews

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 · Posted 3 days ago

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

Review from Finance Dept · Posted 5 days 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

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 6 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.
