The good days are great, work is done and laughs are had. The bad is prominent. Never have I seen so many people discouraged to report SEVERE cases to HR due to them knowing the offender is protected by friendship. SMITH beats you down to a working drone who happily accepts pennies in raises.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Get rid of the ageism and nepotism. This company spouts family then lies to your face on wages. How horrible Clay 1 and 2 are treated compared to Hollister. The office building is filled with reps that don't know what they're doing and "hot interns" - Lee Ackerley. We see their priorities.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
About 98% of people at SMITH need retraining. People who have been here 20+ yrs still make fireable offenses and mistakes with nothing but a slap on the wrist. For this to get better, SMITH would need an entire restructuring. When employees see things like this, confidence and trust is lost in VP/CO
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
This company runs on blood related ties and close family friends. You want to get promoted? Sorry, the owners nephew who is unqualified just took that position at a higher hourly wage then what was offered. Your work means nothing here, only who you can buddy up to or if you've dated your boss.
What makes you most happy at work?
When I work alongside mature, competent and bright minds who WANT to work. That's all I want to do, come in and work to aid SMITH in the little way I can. All the bad greatly overshadows the good this company does, I just wish for this to be a place people want to come to and work hard and enjoy.
