My company has clear goals and values which I very much appreciate. Due to it being a family-business you can feel that it doesn't lose its soul to corporate pressures from investors or else. The colleagues I work with significantly improve my day-to-day tasks which can at times be repetitive.

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

My team, and I speak only for my office, makes it worthwhile to go to work every day. I do enjoy daily interactions in the office. In that sense, it never gets boring. On the contrary, I have doubts about professionalism of people in other offices. Hence why I gave a rating of 7.
