The company only offers cost-of-living raises, which are negligible. Even after years of service, pay remains stagnant. This was one of the main reasons I left when another company offered better pay and a higher position.
Training materials can be incorrect or outdated. Most people quickly disregard what they learn in training and rely on peers for accurate information.
Chronic understaffing leads to high turnover rates. The company often fails to replace teams, leaving remaining employees to pick up the slack. This cycle of burnout and turnover has persisted for years.
Coverage is inconsistent. Breaks are frequently delayed, and workdays can range from dead periods to overwhelming back-to-back contacts.
The company prefers offering gifts over meaningful pay raises. Bonuses are difficult to achieve, and it often feels like they’re intentionally out of reach.
There is no leniency for external issues like power outages or internet disruptions, which count against employees and can lead to termination.
The fun office culture, including free lunches, snacks, and coffee, disappeared with the shift to remote work. While remote work saves on gas, the overall morale has dropped significantly.
New roles, products, and responsibilities are added without proper communication or preparation.
The virtual meetings lack substance, often becoming sessions where employees vent their stress. Attempts at engagement, like game tournaments, feel lackluster (e.g., Kahoot trivia games).
