SPS Commerce Claimed Company
#TeamSPS is addressing inventory and supply chain challenges for today’s retail businesses. read more
A large company acting like a small startup. A small closed off team of leaders making decisions independent of the input of the experts they have hired. An exec team that views the business as their own personal business and treats the rest of the departments and workers as third party contractors.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They allow flexibility and are extremely accessible.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The company really does have a lot of extremely talented and intelligent people. It has really been the most positive group of people I've ever been around.
What makes you most happy at work?
I am most happy when there is a clear concise vision, that has gone through a rigorous planning phase across all the effected departments so that everyone is aware of their roles, metrics of success, and milestones before work on the project ever begins.
What are some of the best things about your team?
The members of the team are very smart and eager. It is unfortunate that their incredible talents are spent constantly scrambling inefficiently under poor direction to, instead of leveraging their high intelligence toward making us more efficient, thus increasing the marginal impacts of our efforts.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I have 5-10 years experience and a degree in my highly technical field. I have family members getting paid more in entry level project manager positions before they even graduated college. If positions like mine are not going to be monetarily valued, their knowledge should be given more respect.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
SPS is known for having tight pay scales and wage increases. It takes serious effort for a manager to get any pay increase greater than 3% approved. There are very few employees at this company, at any given point in time, that has had their wages keep up with inflation.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Be a far better at inter-team communication and planning. Far too many projects are done on a whim without any clear communication between teams, or any significant planning. Need to take time to assess, plan more than a few weeks out, and use this to inform how we think and act in the future.
