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

Increase the aht time so people aren’t having mental breakdowns during/after calls when some problems take 20 minutes to solve and that happens multiple times a day. I am forced to cut corners to try and meet the time each day. The clients are old and need their h

The creative team is being overworked and not compensated fairly. This should be an easy fix: just pay us a fair wage for the amount of work we do and don't overwork us.

Review from Marketing Dept

I look forward to what each day brings and am generally happy with my job. The nature of this business can be very repetitive and monotonous. There is not really a lot that can be done to change that. My company does events and lunches frequently to show their thanks for the hard work.

Review from Operations Dept

we're down headcount by a lot and our workload hasn't been reduced enough. we need people. on my team alone we have lost a few people due to frustrations with recognition and promotions so that process needs to be improved

Review from Product Dept

my manager is difficult to work with and my concerns are dismissed when bubbled up; our team workload is overwhelming as a whole and people don't have bandwidth to dig deeper or do stretch projects; the work is not fulfilling

Review from Marketing Dept

Compensation, benefits, lack of growth opportunities. Questionable direction in leadership. No skills matrix has ever been performed on my team, and we all essentially feel like nameless, valueless cogs, pushing the same button every day. This would be fine if we were adequately compensated.

I would like to feel valued and respected by directors+ and seen as a SME in my field. I would like my job title and compensation to be adjusted at level that accurately represents the work that I do.

Company direction seems to be lost on most of us. We don't really understand our customer or her habits, nor do we seem to have a grasp on how to best reach her or engage in a relationship with her. Customer churn is off the charts.

Review from Marketing Dept

AMP (Autonomy, Mastery, Purpose) - we are missing all 3. A - teams are held accountable for delivery rather than outcomes. M - we can't hire great engineers (comp) who would raise the bar for others. P - we are a site for cheap stuff, not a #1 online destination for Moms.

Review from Engineering Dept

The culture that Zuliy once had is gone. It used to be a fast paced company, changing quickly to react to the business. Now, we are so focused on writing docs and changing process instead of what we are here for, the customer and driving a business.

Review from Product Dept

Pay your people better if you are going to be demanding this much from them. We are happy to work here with each other but such a siloed leadership structure has lots of people dropping lots of balls.

Too many people are leaving. High turnover and low hiring numbers puts pressure on existing workers which in turn makes them leave causing larger problems. They should not have gotten rid of hack week!! Stealing 1 week of vacation time and not caring how mad we were!

Review from Engineering Dept

I used to be. This is the first job I really liked. Now my team is almost gone and once the next person leaves in a couple weeks it's going to be horrible.

Review from Engineering Dept

Sometimes the work can get repetitive & stale, but at times can be so busy that there isn't really time to branch out to try or be involved in new experiences outside of the regular duties in our roles.

Review from Product Dept

Work/life balance, not getting enough time to understand change because things happen so fast, and not getting enough support on my team
