Advice to Senior Management

Management works incredibly hard and have too many variables involved in getting paid a decent wage for all the stress and lack of poer they have.

Pros

The People create a family

Cons

Pay unfair between call center people (too much) and admin/system/it people (too little)

Advice to Senior Management

They need to focus on technology!

Pros

*Work shifts are flexible. Either you start at 7am, 8am, or Noon. This gives you ability to do split shifts (7am - 11am and 5pm -9pm) so you can interview with other companies during the afternoon.
*It's a paycheck (if you are in that bad of a need for income)
*Most of the co-workers are in the same boat as you, so they understand what you are going through

Cons

Where to begin.....

*Management from the top down is terrible.
*No room for advancement unless you are in "The Boys Club" and get hand fed.
*Work comes before personal life issues (especially at the end of the month)
*Your goals keep getting increased so you do not "hit your commission payout level" from time to time. This is a cost saving measure.

........I could go on and on, but you get the picture.

Advice to Senior Management

* Respect your employees
* Pay employees with an open commission plan. You may be amazed at how productive some folks can be when you don't cap their earnings.
* Quit trying to impress the shareholders. Focus on employees. If it wasn't for the employees, your doors wouldn't be open.
* Start making drug testing a requirement for hire. It wouldn't hurt to give random tests to managers/employees throughout the year.
