What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?The most positive part if the culture is an open attitude towards sharing information (that can be shared). It almost feels like working on a college campus.
What are some of the best things about your team?Everyone is helpful and kind. They go out of there way to help.
What is the best part about your compensation package?The best part of compensation is the competitive salary.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?They pay women lower because they lack diversity and inclusion.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?Treating women with respect and stop favoring some employees even when found committing time card fraud.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?Cultural apathy and indifference is rampant. I wonder if an experienced mentor with a progressive set of goals might give structure to a new-hire process that is devoid of guidance.
