I've had great experiences here, but it has hit a plateau. I am ready to move on to a company that provides paths to grow, get promotions, and provides valuable career feedback. There is a clear lack of organization currently and lack of true leaders.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
We are behind the times. Leaders are not invested in culture change.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
- More modern facilities - Clean facilities - Option for remote work - Use of TS Salutes
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Raises/promotions, career discussions, ability to move upward. We are overworked and spread thin in our department and not treated with respect.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
That we are currently trying to make a change with D&I. Other than that, we are very old school and don't take action against old school behaviors. Look to our sister companies, we are struggling with culture and ammenities.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Improving communication - that we actually care and implement things to show we do. Work-life balance. Weeding out old school behavior. We have leaders that are here to collect a paycheck and leave. There are many people at lower levels working 4x as hard.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Analyze what our competitors are doing for their employees - WFH, supporting BLM, etc. We are behind in the times and it affects retention and employee view of the company. We are very retroactive in our approaches - coronvirus, D&I. By the time we do something, it's not meaningful anymore.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
There is such a lack of communication. Since we are spread thin, there is a lot of animosity over workload. I feel like if I'm not overworking myself or burning out, people think I'm not trying hard enough. We need to better establish work-life balance - not just saying we support it.
