More compensation for the amount and difficulty of work I am doing would make me more content with my position. My health benefits are horrible; I pay $80 a week for the worst plan while my deductible is still $5,000 per year. I get no stock, and I don't even get paid vacation time.

Consistently asked to perform tasks assigned to higher grade employees without receiving additional compensation.

Consistently asked to perform tasks assigned to higher grade employees without receiving additional compensation.

Employees are paid to do one job, but are forced to continue taking on additional tasks in order to be eligible for a raise. This quickly equals overworked employees, then management still finds a way to avoid giving you a raise or bonus.

Review from Admin Dept

obvious favoritism of white males who work little and have big compensations
