MEMIC reviews

Thanks for flagging your situation. We recommend that you speak to your supervisor or Human Resources and explain your sense of having too little to do as well as your expectations about your career path. We are a learning organization and want to be sure you are not only busy but building skills that will help advance your knowledge of this business and the performance of the company. As for the charitable contribution program, for the last two years we have encouraged employees to direct $100 to an organization of their choice and the response has been terrific. Animal welfare groups, health organizations, education, environmental causes and dozens of others have benefited from our employees’ choices. This community engagement has nothing to do with bonuses – it’s about us reflecting the values that light us up. In terms of compensation, we are competitive in all the markets in which we do business. We also have a generous profit sharing plan that is above the norm for most industries. It is performance-based and goes straight into each employee’s retirement plan. In addition, annual performance reviews result in merit increases in compensation. We ask you to share responsibility for your workload and take ownership in your career path. We hope you’ll make the most of this opportunity as there is plenty of work to be done.

It’s hard to know where to begin from your review. Clearly you’re not happy and not feeling confident to speak with your supervisor or any member of management. That’s a problem particularly when open conversations are encouraged from the first day of work. The entire senior management team meets with new employees during orientation at which everyone is encouraged to stop in, call or write any one of them. We know we have opportunities to improve and are working on them but it’s hard to reconcile your review with the many others that find MEMIC to be the right fit and a great place to work. We strongly encourage you to start a conversation with senior management – it’s the best way to help change what’s bothering you.
