Outlook Reviews

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.
