• Extremely heavy workload with no compensation adjustments or promotion path. Despite handling a range of duties that fall under a marketing manager’s role, I was still treated and paid as a coordinator.
• Lack of leadership support and appreciation. Requests for career growth and recognition often fell on deaf ears. I was encouraged to meet “annual goals,” but no real path forward was offered.
• High turnover and low morale within the team. In my six months there, multiple team members left or moved to competitors.
• Inequity in workload distribution, which was disregarded by HR even after being brought to their attention. This created an environment that felt dismissive and, at times, unfair.
• Micromanagement from unqualified leadership that limited the ability to work autonomously and grow.
