Lack of career development and advancement; If you're not part of the "in crowd" you're just passed over for everything; Senior Leadership is inexperienced and only know how to grow through cutting costs, lack maturity to really understand how to run an organization; Support functions are very lean but expected to handle tremendous workloads
