What suggestions do you have for management?

"More feedback on performance would be nice. Just make it clear that any criticism is for the growth of the individual. More simple benefits as well. Holiday pay so we're not financially screwed by national holidays. Some paid vacation and sick days would be nice. Doesn't have to be a lot. It'd help the morale of the employees."
