U.S. Small Business Administration Employee Reviews
Positive Reviews from Employees
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
While my program office is not very positive, I find that interaction in training environments and cross-functional teams which include other program offices to be a welcome change from the day-to-day.
What are some of the best things about your team?
The independence of work schedules, the generous telework policy.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The cost of add-on benefits (vision, dental) is very cost-effective.
Constructive Feedback from Employees
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
The majority of SBA leadership ascended over 15 years ago and have become institutionalized, refusing to give way or to provide opportunities to up-and-coming leaders.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I work in the venture capital and private equity program (the SBIC program) ; the federal pay scale is well below the industry standard for comparable work and responsibility.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
My specific team is woefully understaffed (2 current employees on a team with 4 designated positions). Lack of opportunities limit recruitment to end-of-career candidates or to marginal performers from other offices/companies.
