Cons
Leadership changes have significantly impacted job satisfaction and morale.
The current HR Director is not effectively supporting employees, contributing to frustration and disengagement.

Understaffing and systemic issues are compounded by repeated directives to "hang in there" without transparency on resources or realistic support, while workloads increase and leadership expresses disappointment in results.
