Western Paper Distributors Response
8yI'm sorry your annual review did not go as you had hoped. Respectfully, I have to disagree with many of your comments.
Western Paper does not have a merit increase guideline of 2.5%.
We DO work hard to provide fair and equitable reviews and increases, and we DO provide an opportunity to earn up to an additional 10% of your normal pay. (The target pay out is 5% of your pay, and on an average, the company pays between 6 and 7% each bonus period.)
As it related to working and living in Denver, you are right that it is getting more and more expensive to live in Denver. As with most employers, we do monitor the job market, and adjust base pay rates as needed to work to keep up with the changes in the cost of living. AND we provide an opportunity to progress and promote in your career field that helps you achieve raises that are larger than a normal, annual review.
As always, if there is a specific concern, it is always best to reach out to one of the leaders at Western Paper to discuss it. We are all available and want to hear about your challenges and concerns so that we can address them in the best way for you and for Western Paper.
