Thank you for your review. We need to improve some areas, and your insights are invaluable in helping us get there. We recognize that regional marketing roles are crucial to our success and that they deserve the visibility and recognition they deserve. In your position as the Field Director, we ask that you actively work with leadership to ensure that every contribution is highlighted and aligned with our broader objectives. Regarding our martech infrastructure, working on the need for a more robust digital marketing foundation includes everyone's efforts and needed investment, plus our teams evaluating solutions to support more efficient and impactful marketing efforts. We want you to feel empowered to speak up about these areas of concern. Finally, we hear you on the issue of internal politics. We’re committed to fostering a collaborative environment, which means challenging ourselves to work transparently and supportively at all levels. Thank you for helping us grow stronger.

Thank you for this balanced and thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that our benefits and investment in people are making a positive impact, those are commitments we take seriously. On the process feedback: Leadership is actively reviewing operational workflows, and the advice to listen more closely to employee feedback is something we're holding ourselves accountable to. If you're open to it, we'd encourage you to bring specific examples forward through your team or people and culture contacts. Change is most effective when it's grounded in the real experiences of the people doing the work, and that means you.

Pros

-Great company -Team has talented, experienced account managers and product experts who know the territory well

Cons

West team management is heavy on micromanagement and sets unrealistic territory targets without rep input — high turnover, and long tenure in company seems to shield this manager from accountability and growth
