Management - Can’t get out of their own way. You can show them why something should be done a certain way, based on industry experience, and it’ll most likely go unnoticed until it’s too late and then they try to blame you for why you didn’t urge them more sooner.
Tribal Knowledge - A certain few people know most of the processes but refuse to share until they can be the hero. Lots of not-my-jobs.
Moving Up - Next to impossible, even if you are a high performer, but then you are too valuable to move up. And as a high performer, you get most of the problems to deal with.
Reactive - The word proactive doesn’t exist here.
Follow Through - Lots of promises, minimal execution.
Benefits - Some, but not great, and only the bare minimum.
Currently there is a consulting company trying to help turn things around, but there is no change other than to put the lipstick on the pig until they are gone or the next investment company buys them. They have lost lots of valuable people lately, and they haven’t backfilled one position that wasn’t management.
