Svantaggi
HR - priority seems to be only on recruiting - have lost focus on employee retention and seem inexperienced in handling issues. lack of trust/confidence in going to them with any issues. due to increased hiring for the sales - a lot of changes have happened and people are having issues with the growing pains Salary - comparable positions in the city start at a higher rate - need to close that gap faster - analyzing the salaries for years with no updates or changes is discouraging when looking at the future. people don't read emails!!! then ask questions that have already been explained.. multiple times. Some management is fantastic - where some may have been great at their jobs or a management favorite; but that does not mean they should be managing people. Provide them with some better management training . don't feel monthly company call should be an all in company call when 85% of the content is directed to only Sales - only make ops people stay half hour. Launch party - we are off in a different area doing the awards during the day- The Excellence award should at least be given out to Ops winners with the entire company so everyone knows why these 8- 10 people got it - it is a hard award to get since you get presidents club there are limited spaces compared to the amount of sales so its a big deal the entire company should know why they got it.
