I'm in my 6th year, and the beginning was exciting and inspiring. The last 18-24 months have declined. Our leadership is weak and not visible when needed. My opinion of feeling valued, secure, and bought into the strategy for moving forward has soured. Our leaders do not have long-term plans/goals.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
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.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The recent culture's positives have dwindled to a few but, there are some areas we still have positive energy and opportunity to grow. I enjoy the planning and detail we see during a Volvo event. It has the right feel and vibe that matches the company's direction.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
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.
What are some of the best things about your team?
We have a great director, she leads by example and has her team's backs. It has created a workspace, where our team enjoy one another and love working hard together. We have the freedom to be loud with laughter, & the freedom to accomplish our work goals from our most productive space.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
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
