What do you like best about the leadership team?

Leadership Reviews

Leadership team is communicative and provides a clarity regarding the company's strategy.

They have open communication with the team.

Teamwork, clear instructions, appreciations, good environment

Review from Finance Dept

The team was caring and I liked them

Review from Marketing Dept

They seem to be aligned with one another.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

more transparency, more presence, more opportunities

Review from Marketing Dept

Be visible, communicative, and receptive. The leadership team in the sales organization has a toxic culture feel. There appears to be a drive to deliver but, the strategy and flexibility/open-mindedness are supremely lacking. I used to respect these leaders but, that has mostly dissipated.

When your CEO is only here 3 days a month, your executive management team has NO visibility and your PX team is clearly only there to protect the company and does nothing to protect employees who come forward maybe they should start there and look w/in. Show up and actually care!

ADA policy & governing regs are NOT followed (disability accommodation). Documentation by drs & PX dismissed medical opinions & statements of fact. PX ultimatum of an unreasonable/ineffective "flexibility" or separation process. Result=Health declined & now risk stroke/heart attack every day onsite

Our leaders do not respect employees or recognize their talent. They only care about their "club"

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

Vehicle lease program and recharge mental health wellness week off!

The bonus program is very beneficial.

Annual bonus is good, pay is alright

Review from Finance Dept

the bonuses we get. Our medical is lackluster

Review from Marketing Dept

The paternity leave is cool

Review from Marketing Dept

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

Compensation Reviews

Transparency of the pay-scale for my level and where I stand.

Salary ranges are not transparent and overlap quite a bit. Salaries are low compared to the current market

Being a field employee takes a lot out of your life and the compensation at times doesn't seem to be worth it. Cost of living and inflation have increased but salaries havent been matched

From a PX perspective, I feel the company's priorities seem to be misaligned with where the company's productivity and earnings are delivered. Our sales organization, from multiple areas, is under-compensated or undervalued in many of the arms of the company that drive the brand forward.

I have to choose between my mental & physical health or keeping my job w/risk of death weekly. I am protected by ADA but PX is violating. "Alternative accommodation" offered does not qualify as such as it is ineffective. Maintaining mental & physical health is more valuable than more monetary comp.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Team Reviews

Collaborative environment with very dedicated and smart individuals.

We are able to work hard but also make work fun.

We discuss everything on a regular basis

Review from Finance Dept

comradery with immediate team we are on

Review from Marketing Dept

My team has energy and makes me excited to work

Review from Marketing Dept

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Team Reviews

Personal life management, keeping emotions under control.

I would think more focus would be highly beneficial to the team. I believe we could work better together if we had better direction on how to utilize our time when many things need to be completed.

Get better people. The people I work with are self centered and only care about themselves. No focus on being a team or talking through things or sharing ideas, etc.

They love to hear themselves talk, but don't take the time to listen and have conversations.

Review from Marketing Dept

Overall, the general feeling is that most business units throughout the company are stretched incredibly thin resulting in a mostly reactive rather than proactive response to problem solving.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Environment Reviews

Family company focused on safety

My coworkers and spending time with them.

Everyone is very friend and helpful

Review from Finance Dept

our receptionist is always pleasant.. and so are the IT team

Review from Marketing Dept

The people are very nice

Review from Marketing Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

When there are multiple complaints about a manager in place, something should be done about it. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt coming in, but they are near impossible to collaborate with and do not create a good work environment.

We need to address biases and stop allowing people to be self centered. There is no focus on interacting beyond one's immediate team

Change the DIGITAL MT, hire qualified leaders, not coordinators. Stop people from building empires where people are sitting and surfing the internet day in day out. These directors should definitely be replaced.

We need to organize ourselves better, allow for true ownership of projects. Eliminate the hierarchical culture. Better food in the cafeteria so it becomes a place that people cannot stay away from - becomes the center of social for employees.

Good environment, work it self

Review from Finance Dept

being part of the brand future

Review from Marketing Dept

Interacting with my team makes me happy

Review from Marketing Dept

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

Outlook Reviews

Doing too much, at the same time, without enough people. Gets tiresome and stressful waking up to that every day of the week.

We have too many "senior managers" that are in title only. We have many in these titles that add little value to our brand or productivity towards growing and evolving in the industry. And then we have a leadership team with too many managers. We do not accomplish much ego and back-and-forth to move

Executive management should be held accountable for their toxic behavior.

We need to make cars that customers want, not make cars that we think they want. What works in Europe does not work in the US.

All work requests should be funneled through our manager since he has the most knowledge of our workloads. Often upper management will bypass the proper channels and send us scrambling with random requests. No one has enough time, and work is not prioritized well.
