The first 10 years was great, but I quickly realized that management only wants what's good for them, not for you, in any conceivable way imaginable. They will take the easy way out for themselves and pass the difficult or dangerous tasks to you and not compensate for or address obvious safety risks
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
Am slowly being drained of ambition because my talents and sacrifices are not valued or compensated adequately.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Division of labor, diversity of talents
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Sales team is not cohesive, different rules exist for different employees
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Lower their voices when in the office, the yelling from office to office to have simple conversations needs to stop. They need to be considerate to others.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Know boundaries, be respectful of others (no loud obnoxious banter in the office, etc), take more pride in their work so that it helps others do theirs. Communicate with each other often and promptly.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Management needs to improve their oversight and recognize those in crisis. They also need to recognize there is a human behind all the work that gets accomplished out and how that work affects the employee physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Two decades of work experience at the business should mean something during consideration of promotions. There's an element of nepotism that exists that precludes admin staff from advancing beyond their starting position. Non-sales/Ops incentives are gone. Pay bumps not following add. duty or COLA.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Actually care about the safety and wellbeing of all your coworkers and subordinates instead of just saying it to Ops in a safety meeting or on a kiosk. Follow corporate guidance on safety in teams, better strobe lighting on trucks would improve the appearance that management cares about your safety.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I do many tasks around here that no one else can/wants to do, and I've never been given any incentive/pay increase, other than keeping my job, to do them. What would make me feel better is to actually pay me for every new task you assign me that they didn't hire me to do.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
As an admin employee, neither management nor your fellow coworkers are interested in your success. They see you as a tool to use & exploit to ease their workload with no regard to your burden. So when you now play assistant to a number of salesmen your product and mental state suffer as a result.
