1. Lack of competitive pay and benefits on the corporate and caregiver level.
2. Leadership and management don't have the best idea of what's going on in the frontlines because they are so high up on their pedestals, and they take so much time off but don't offer good PTO to lower level staff.
3. Lack of transparency across the organization when it comes to compensation and lack of concrete professional development/growth plans.
4. Poor PTO, maternity and sick-time policy for Texas staff.
5. Favoritisim. They promote favorites fast and if you aren't a favorite you get gaslighted when bringing up questions about pay raises or opportunities.
6. Even if you show how much work you put in with metrics and projects if you aren't "teacher's pet" you won't get promoted or get a raise.
7. Retaliation - If you asked about PTO or to work from home occasionally before the pandemic they didn't agree with it and treated employees who asked these questions differently after.
8. Lack of Work-Life Balance- You could be asked to work weekends and holidays anytime even though it's not what you signed up for. They promote and rewards those willing to work 60 hours a week and gaslight hourly staff who say they cannot commit to more than 45 hours a week.
9. Some managers are young and lack experience with working with different learning styles and don't advocate for their team and instead throw them under the bus.
10. Many layoffs- Work is not stable, they have lay offs every year and they post the openings months later with lower pay than the previous staff.
