Poor Management and Unrealistic Expectations
Pros
Pros: Good pay for a first job out of college Decent benefits Great coworkers — we truly had to rely on and guide each other to be successful
Cons
Cons: No work-life balance if you want to even come close to 5/5 KPI achievement Expect to work nights and weekends if you want your accounts to work with you Goals change so frequently that you rarely get the chance to actually achieve them High performers are penalized with significantly increased goals compared to coworkers Unnecessary side tasks that take time away from core responsibilities You often end up doing your manager’s job in addition to your own “More is more” mentality leads to burnout and no personal life unless you’re constantly working Poor communication across all levels of leadership Constant out-of-stocks, yet performance is still judged against those shortages Little to no support for career growth or advancement Promotion is nearly impossible unless you relocate Training is inadequate and does not set you up for success
