What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

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.

Consolidate and pay us more money

There has recently been a shift in the company culture to focus more on "the numbers" and less on retaining our technical experts. The product we sell here is our people, and if we aren't investing in keeping the best experts here we are going to start losing what makes SWCA great.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

the PTO / wellness leave

Posted 12 days ago

Our employee stock ownership plan.

Posted 20 days ago

The best part of the compensation package is the ESOP

Mental health access, and the ESOP; of course.

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

Compensation Reviews

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.

Posted 21 days ago

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

Comparable rates to other companies for the same positions.

Not keeping up with competitive firms in similar roles, national average

My pay is below average for my skillset and experience in the industry and area. I would feel better if the company was better at allowing training and continuing education. This is often discouraged from a cost perspective from leadership and executive teams.
