salaries... some positions are overpaid, while many are underpaid. Historically, there have been a lot of slackers that were allowed to keep their jobs because of who they knew (mostly a local management issue) and there was a great deal of nepotism in hiring (again, at least locally). However, with all of the changes President Snyder has implemented- many of the slackers are going or gone, and new hiring practices for upper management (and all positions really) has eliminated much of the nepotism (also, changing local management has impacted these things as well). Unfortunately, I left before there were changes in local management (which may have made all the difference for me). At that time and due to that dynamic, there was no work-life balance for me; we were prevented from career growth and promotion and "leadership" was terrible. Under new local leadership, I believe those things are changing. You will hear some say differently and complain about the changes over the last several years, including the change in leadership... but those are the people that still need to go, honestly. They want to do things the same way they did 20 years ago... there are some that barely work at all and make 3x the money of their counterparts who do... and they are the folks that have made the environment hostile to work in in the past.
