- Zero communication between departments, and zero communication between managers and employees.
- Constant policy changes, usually negatively impacting team members
- Very political office environment, expect managers to come to you with gossip they hear from other employees--and watch what you say or who you joke around with
- Catty and chatty managers
- Little to no training given for the position, expect to largely learn yourself
- Feedback ignored by management
- More than one department has been laid off, and the office was getting emptier by the month, so little job security
- Managers uninterested in working with you to resolve issues
- Going above and beyond is unappreciated
- Zero room for progress--promotions are gained by seniority (years worked) or political maneuvering, not merit
- Little to no overtime opportunities
- Completely aloof management--they never bother to ask for feedback, and most of them have little idea of what actually goes on beneath them
- Just a general atmosphere of hostility and low motivation, almost entirely the fault of lackluster management
