- Very low pay for full-time employees. Not even close to competitive.
- High turnover, even for top performing employees (due to low pay, lack of recognition, lack of career advancement opportunities, etc.)
- No career advancement or significant pay raise opportunities.
- Company is content with hiring part-time students with low experience and neglecting the need for internal career advancement opportunities. They then wonder why free snacks and $1.00/hr pay raises aren't helping them retain their top talent.
- An underlying frustrating feeling that your work isn't good enough (multiple employees have expressed this as a frustration).
- 20% of the time it can feel like leaders are frustrated, disappointed, or even resentful of employees. Often it was hard to know what kind of a personality your boss was going to bring for the day, so it felt like walking on eggshells somedays.
