Pros

The gobs of money I make from equity in the company, the pay cheque. They all afford me fancy cars and multiple homes along with retirement savings and being able to fund my children's education.

Cons

For too many years I have felt ashamed for making copious amounts of money while other staff struggle to make a living. Whay i have gathered by being a shareholder is its our job to protect our investment and claim as much revenue as humanly possible in the shortest amount of time possible with the least amount if work involved believe this needs to change. As an organization, we need to treat ALL staff on the playing field the same way. We need to understand that its not just ourselves making money but ALL of the staff make money for this company. The non shareholder are the biggest reason all of us are filthy rich. That says something. We need to share the wealth with everyone in this company equally to retain staff. Not everyone can afford to live on $23 an hour anymore. We need to do our best as owners to ensure that everyone employed with us is financially taken care of.

Thank you for sharing your opinion so candidly. As you know, Midwest's shareholder group is comprised of individuals from various positions throughout the company; administrative, field, technical, professional, and management. This is one of the best things about our ownership structure, it's representative of all positions within the company. You're right, it does take every employee to achieve success. That's how Midwest has defined success in its Value Statement. "Our success is defined by engaged employees, loyal clients, and a bright future for us all." I'm open to discussing this further, identifying where you feel we're not living our values. Finally, I'd like to share that Midwest routinely benchmarks employee pay ranges against industry-based market data. The compensation structure of any company is comprised of more than just an hourly pay rate. If you have questions about our pay structure I'd encourage you to reach out to me. Thanks again for contributing your voice to our profile. You can reach me anytime in the Calgary office. Yours truly, Kelsey Poxon, CPHR Corporate HR Manager
