Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

Overall the experience is OK.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

No additional comments at this time.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Willing to dive in and get things done.

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

No additional comments at this time.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

I really don't care since I am moving on.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

I think the pay is on par with the industry.

What makes you most happy at work?

When I punch out at the end of the day.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

They need to check market values and provide competitive salaries.

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

There is a lot of bad mouthing of others in management and peer positions. Coworkers here at FMB feel like high school clicks.

What makes you most happy at work?

Happiness is something that is not "made". It either happens or it doesn't. Work is work. I gain happiness with friends and family.

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

I took a $13,000/year pay cut coming to FMB. Prior to that, I took a $5,000/year pay cut when moving from a different state. I have a job offer that will may $20,000/year more than I make at FMB.
