Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
If I made enough to feel comfortable in the city I live and work in, less than 20 an hour in Indianapolis is poverty wages.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Paying employees at the branch level a fair living wage or even better thriving wages. Our slogan is helping you prosper. why don't we start with our own employees?
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
We our inclusive and will hire anyone, but part of that is we have to because of how poorly we pay. A Max 3% raise will not help with retention either.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I don't feel valued here, I know I am under paid, and I just spend most of time here bored and sadly putting myself in a worse economic situation in the process.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Actually, paying us a living wage for our base pay. Having easier to achieve sales goals since ours have a cap that doesn't pay out well anyway. Also much harder to hit goal without referrals.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Being paid more hourly! The less than a dollar raise when we get an email about how much the company made last year just feels like a slap in the face to me. Pay better good employees will continue to leave.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
We need to pay Branch Employees better I only made 34,000 take home pay, that is not enough to keep up with inflation, it is hard to help our clients prosper when our own company is not helping us prosper.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Understanding less than 20 dollars an hour isn't a living wage anymore, maybe take a moment and think about paying all the bills you have on that salary. Be less out of touch and stop acting like you are better than branch level employees.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Better at empathy sadly, we need to start offering products that help individuals who are lower income and a lower credit score. Also pay the people in the branch a living wage. You cannot live and work in Indianapolis for $19 an hour. You guys live on that salary while living in Indianapolis.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Having a pay that is keeping up with inflation, it gets very discouraging when we get emails seeing how much the bank is making profit wise, and many of us at the branch level are living paycheck to paycheck. We need better mental health coverage; it's hard to find care for serious conditions.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
To be paid at least 40,000 a year I have worked here over 3 years, also the criteria to get the highest raise possible (3%!!!) is not realistic and just seems like a way to shortchange employees. Be honest with yourself would you be happy with a 1, 2, or 3% raise. You wouldn't be.
