*Even after yearly Salary/Reviews, salaries for legacy employees are lagging and below market. New employees are being brought in 20-30k higher base salary than legacy employees (even those with extremely high performance). Moving to other departments is limited (internal employees are too experienced/would be bored but the positions pay 20k plus more).
*The approach to culture is more about being friends and being positive. Many want to work hard and are not "cheerleaders" and are scared to speak up as that's deemed not on brand. May not be a good fit for those who want to do their best and contribute to goals without wasting valuable time in chats, playing games, etc.
*Happiness and being able to do your job are dependent on your manager. There are some micro-managers in the org. who along with the management style, also create barriers to work, barriers to build relationships with team members and leadership, and hinder growth. When there has been a large turnover within teams (seen in multiple areas), rather than identifying the root cause (ill suited manager), new people are brought in. Eventually the manager leaves, but only after quality employees have left and the org is left rebuilding.
*No leadership/growth paths: Depending on the part of the organization you are in, Leadership/growth is determined more by who you know and are friendly with, rather than knowledge. That has always been an issue within Appriss as a whole, but with the changes at the organizational level has been exacerbated.
