Great place to work, but the stress level is very high and the pay increases are low

Pros

Flexible work schedule, working from home, information sharing, and skill building. People are very friendly, and management is highly trained. There are many opportunities to move around in the company, and this is encouraged.

Cons

Heavy workload. Above-average employees get very little pay increases from year to year. This could be a sign of the times, but overall, I'm not satisfied with my yearly pay increases.

Advice to Management

A small token pay increase to your above-average employees is more of a slap in the face than a reward. At some point, it's not going to be worth getting that 2+ or 1 rating. I'll probably just chill and take the 2; at the end of the day, it works out to be the same.
