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.

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.

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

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.

Pay us more money please
