Comparisons of job responsibilities and merit within the organization are also taken into consideration. An independent compensation study of wci jobs was completed in 2022 and again in 2025. We engaged portico consulting to review each of our positions and assist in designing a compensation plan, includng pay ranges. These consultants use multiple industry standard surveys and decades of experience to design our compensation plan.”
