Based on how SPS treats its employees, I feel disillusioned and used (compared with how I felt excited and impressed when first starting). SPS feels hollow.
This company only focuses on quarterly sales, outward appearances, and projecting expertise.
Pretty wonderful place to work.
We seem to be doing very well.
My team and feeling seen by them.
Friendliness and helpfulness. Everyone is always helpful.
It is very difficult to get fired.
Collaboration, everyone is always will to help others.
Remove in office work for employees.
We have each other's backs even when things get difficult.
SPS does hire great employees who are friendly and helpful.
Fast paced and exciting as we all are pushing towards $1B.
Based on other companies wages in this field, we are paid lower.
The company is doing well and there is plenty of room for opportunity.
As a leader, seeing others exceed - sharing that news and celebrating together.
They are hardworking people who want to do their best with the limited resources given to them.
Hard working, everyone pitches in where needed to get things done, very helpful and collaborative. We live and die as a team.
There is a lot of pressure from customers to do things quickly, as well as other departments. Expectations delivered are not always realistic.
There is a tremendous amount of collaboration between team members, and no shortage of people willing to help educate each other on topics less familiar to some.
Pay raises are reflective of the budget, not merit. There is no incentive to work hard here. No incentive bonuses, no holiday bonus, no sick days, no mental health days.
We are following a sales-driven mindset when we should be product-driven, according to the book Crossing the Chasm. As a result, we sell incompatible products to unwitting companies/industries which results in a high churn rate.
Promotions are not stringently considered enough. It's almost always who you know not what you know. Hearing about bonuses paid to folks in technology. Most roles seem to be underpaid compared to the market salary wise.
I am always impressed how candid they are during communication. There is clear expertise, but without many of the trappings of "executive leadership speak" that are so common. I can understand what they are saying, and their clear excitement for the future of SPS is palpable.
Not rubbing it in our faces about uninterrupted company growth and then continuing to allow pay inequity. Be more open about real reasons for why you're wanting employees to come back into the office (especially when you maintain a seat on the Minneapolis Downtown counsel) instead of buzz words.
When I feel like my work is balanced. It hasn't been balanced because of us losing team members (who don't get replaced), and then those of us who are left have double the work to do (without being paid more). I haven't been happy at work for six months or more.
Positions tend to offer less than the median regional salary for the same type of position (I make $10k less than I should be making). SPS regularly boasts about uninterrupted growth, but then SPS doesn't share in it. I feel like I don't matter at work, and I'm actively looking elsewhere.
