- What do you like best about the leadership team?They are down to earth

Constructive Feedback From WEX Employees
- What's going wrong and how can it be improved?Customers constantly tell WEX that our technology needs improvement, and do not like the increased response times for simple tasks to be completed or the constant change of account managers. WEX is very sale-focused for service teams and clients hate it. Why get more broken services?
- What needs to change to make the company culture better?Stop promoting that the company is such a DEI-friendly place for promotional advertisements and do something. Listen to your employees to hear feedback when things are not right. We work the front lines and can see when things are not going great.
- Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?The salary increases annually are dismal at best. They have record-breaking profits that are reported but they give 1-2 percent of merit increases every year. Recently they changed everyone's quarterly bonus to an annual but won't pay out until 3/2025 so the get a year to save those dollars too.
