Like every company in our industry and even outside, compensation is a process and one we are working on. Like our peer companies we have taken measures to work on salary benchmarking and increasing compensation for our team. We are reviewing our benefits this summer and looking for opportunities to enhance them. This will be a multi-year process but we are taking steps every year. Please feel free to call me or your area HR Leader to talk about this more. Employee feedback is important to us!

Pros

I liked the people I worked with.

Cons

My experience may not reflect everyone's, but I found leadership support to be lacking following the acquisition of my company. While there were many talented and supportive coworkers, I often felt there was little managerial guidance, advocacy, or accountability. Responsibilities were frequently pushed down without the corresponding support needed to be successful, and employees were often left to navigate challenges on their own. As the organization continued acquiring new companies, it felt as though employees from acquired organizations became an afterthought once integration efforts were complete. Senior leadership appeared heavily focused on growth and private equity objectives, while employee development, communication, and engagement received less attention. The lack of consistent leadership and support negatively impacted my career growth, confidence, and overall job satisfaction. Leaving was ultimately the right decision for me, and based on my experience, I would not recommend the organization.

We sincerely appreciate your feedback and the comment that it might not be everyone's experience. We have some of the lowest turnover in the industry and we get positive feedback from our employees regularly. Even so, we realize there will always be opportunities for improvement. I would encourage you to reach out to me or your HR partner directly so we can understand the impacts to you and gather broader suggestions. Even though you chose to leave, we still care about your experience and learning from it. Thank you, April Kozubal, CHRO
