What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Direct managers need to be more open to answering questions versus criticizing the action already taken; focus on future, not past.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

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.
