1. Very low pay - Wages are far below average and don’t reflect the rising cost of living. 2. Raises and promotions feel unfair - The company reports strong profits, but employees are told there's only room for a 1-3% raise each year, and bonuses are only offered to select employees. - Leadership receives large bonuses and constant increases to their pay or promotions. 3. Inexperienced supervisors - Some supervisors don’t seem well-equipped to lead or support their teams effectively. 4. HR isn’t very helpful - The VP has been in the role for years but seems unavailable and incompetent. - The HR team often can’t answer questions and usually refers issues up the chain. - Concerns are often overlooked instead of addressed. 5. Slow hiring process - It took over a month and several interviews before getting hired. 6. Mandatory overtime - Extra hours are required and not always communicated in advance, and weekend overtime is also mandatory. 7. After-hours communication - Managers send emails late at night and expect quick responses, which makes it hard to disconnect.
