The Good, the bad, and the ugly - Anonymous employee Team Velocity Employee Review

Dear Former Employee, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience working for Team Velocity! At Team Velocity, we encourage continuous feedback from our employees to better understand where we excel and identify areas where we can improve as an organization. Transparency from upper leadership is a core principal we have always operated under to keep everyone in the loop. With our goal of transparency in mind, we implemented our weekly “All-Hands” meetings to start the week on a positive note by giving employees the opportunity to share fun things they did over the weekend, give shout outs to other team members for being awesome, introduce new hires to the rest of the company, announce new client partnerships, share exciting company news and events, and of course to discuss employee feedback. This feedback from the team paved the way for many exciting initiatives for 2016, like a matching 401(k) plan. As positive as our weekly All-Hands meetings were, we received feedback that they were a bit redundant week to week. Therefore, in an effort to maintain transparency and be respectful of everyone’s time, we moved our All-Hands meetings to once a month. We even live stream our meeting so all our remote employees can participate too! As far as pay and career advancement go, the marketing world is a competitive space. We have chosen to steer away from the traditional corporate ladder structure in favor of offering our employees the ability to create career progression for themselves. Whether you are a millennial or not, those who raise their hand and go above and beyond are rewarded with promotions and pay raises. As our company continues to grow, so do the opportunities for advancement. New promotion opportunities and internal job openings are always mentioned during All-Hands meetings and are posted on our company intranet. In addition, the HR door is always open to discuss compensation, career advancement and benefits. We apologize if you were unaware of the resources available to you, but we certainly appreciate the contributions you made to Team Velocity and wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors.
