Details
Pros
- Summer hours - 2-hour early dismissal on Fridays during summer
- Good location
- Good products
- Good staff
Cons
- Low salary compared to competitors (for non-Managers)
- Too focused on metrics/reports (large portion of time spent on running reports)
- Too focused on multiple employee reviews, which are pointless as they typically result in very low raises, even for top tier performers, and little helpful feedback
- Way too much time spent in meetings - often 75% or more of work day, which makes it necessary to work unpaid overtime to catch up on day-to-day activities
Advice to Senior Management
- Increase salaries for lower-level employees to make more competitive with others in Pittsburgh
- Offer benefits similar to other area employers (modified work schedules, day care assistance, casual attire, allow part-time work from home, etc.)
- Focus time on value-added projects, rather than multiple employee reviews and unnecessary meetings
