- Bad communication between departments
- Most people get little to no training
- Managers' hands are tied - lots of bureaucracy in terms of hiring and firing, and budget allocation.
- The whole company is micromanaged by the top 2-3 execs
- Pay is notoriously low and incentives are a joke
- Marketing is suppressed and discouraged, if and when it exists
- Sales teams are given ridiculous, increasingly-unachievable targets YoY, and Business Analysis cannot or will not explain the reasoning behind the commission structure.
- Tasks change frequently, and if you're not adaptable/able to let the inconsistencies go over your head, it'll drive you crazy.
- High staff turnover
- Very cultural-specific mentality - if you want something, you have to make yourself heard, push for it, and make a fuss.
- When raises are given (to people in the sales team), they are insultingly low.
