Low pay, very little opportunity for growth - Digital Specialist Unlock Health Employee Review

After a large acquisition and merger earlier this year (2023), Unlock is now the parent company / brain child of a handful of smaller healthcare marketing companies. Leadership continues to ignore the concerns and feedback of lower level teams and employees. They refuse to hire any more support staff while actively bringing on VP-level employees. The workload has increased immensely over the last year for current employees without so much as a whisper of salary increases or bonuses. Raises are NOT based on merit. Leadership is very cagey about explaining how to move upward. Everyone remains frozen in their current positions because the company can't afford to move anyone in the current structure. The workload is bursting at the seams and continues to be piled onto the current teams with no regard to man hours. The workload is also not evenly shared, so God forbid you are one of the more efficient team members - you'll just see your workload double while the less-reliable team members maintain the minimum workload. When I was hired a few years ago, they touted all the opportunity for growth, pay increases, and upward mobility. I have had glowing performance reviews year over year, but have been passed up for raises every time it's brought up. I'm not the only one. My coworkers are not afraid to discuss salaries, and it is very inconsistent across the board.
