AMain Response
7yHi, Thanks for the feedback, we appreciate it. I would like to respond here a bit. Of course big company decisions are made in secret by management. Most of the time when we're weighing or looking into big changes, we are held to NDA's which prevent us from discussing items. Also, most employees are not aware of the big picture such as our operating budget and company financials, which are important when making company decisions. Believe me, as soon as decide on some 'change' we communicate it with the company. We do have all employee company meetings every 6 months to create a forum to communicate the big company news and have question/answer sessions. We also provide monthly communications via our newsletter to provide current happenings. We actually are reviewing our compensation levels across the board now as we realize increases are needed since the economic impact to our area since the Camp Fire, but have always felt we provide competitive wages. We do give exit interviews, so unsure why you did not receive one. Yes, we do need to be better about sitting down with employees and providing feedback and communication as formal performance reviews. As a growing business, this has always been a challenge and one we're working on. We send out an annual employee satisfaction survey, but are always ensuring we know the pulse of the company and responding where needed, as needed, with fairness and with the goal to make AMain a fun, yet fulfilling and meaningful, place to work.
