It's a positive environment that tries to integrate creative opportunities where it can, but overall the corporate nature unfortunately leads the company's actions. It's understandable, but it still can be disappointing for a creative in the long-term. It's easy to get restless.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
The people are lovely to work with but we are generally undervalued and underpaid.
What makes you most happy at work?
Problem-solving in a high-spirited, open, and collaborative way.
What are some of the best things about your team?
They're friendly and welcoming and always open to collaborative problem-solving.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Setting reasonable work loads, treating the employees as people (not KPIs), and understanding that productivity cannot look the same every day (and that not everything can be a priority).
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The people. The environment is built upon positivity and celebrating each others' wins, which then translates to attitudes of the people who end up staying for a longer time.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The company earns a great deal of revenue year-on-year and leadership is always quick to show how well we all contribute to that. But the appreciation for our hard work is not reflected enough in raises, that the company can afford.
What are some of the best things about your team?
They are very skilled even if those skills are not being highlighted enough. Everyone's diverse background makes them an asset to the team (and interesting!!) and they deserve the opportunity to be treated as the unique members of the team they are.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
If employees' time was valued more and there was an attempt to understand that productivity looks different person-to-person, day-to-day. There are often large, expensive events throughout the year, but raises are rarely more than 4%, and employees not in sales don't receive bonuses. Pay raises help
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I am undervalued in relation to the industry-standard rate of pay, the rapidly-rising but unmet rate of inflation, and the high standard of work I maintain. What would make me feel better about compensation is if it was appropriate to what I deserve and indeed was more than a 1,000 annual increase.
