Rah rah "Run Happy" atmosphere can be tiring
Mostly male senior management favors young gung-ho male runners and frat boys
Highly reactive senior management means even three-year plans get scrapped
No where to go/move up for most employees
People in same jobs forever
Cliquey, especially among elite runners, long-time employees, and between departments
Hiring relatives, spouses and partners of current employees makes work relations more complicated--if you offend one person it has double the impact
Small size of company means you are often the only person in a job like yours which can feel very isolating
Some departments suffer from group-think, where intelligent yet different points of views are harshly received instead of valued for broadening perspective for decision-making
HR is a bit of a joke
