Where to begin?
Salary is not competitive as they are still in land locked and industry poor Cedar Rapids, IA. Management not willing to pay top dollar for new hires that know the industry
Technology for the website is always down, driving calls and email traffic. Every week something breaks down, not exaggerating
Management is incompetent. They have a good old boy network and do not try to make things more efficient. "we've done it this way for so long, no need to change."
Leadership has no vision, retirement department is on 6th director. 3rd CEO of the company in 6 years.
Plan counts to manage are overwhelming. Pushing into the upper 200s to 500s. New hires get a couple of hundred plans right out of training
Training is a joke. In fact you are asked to help train and mentor new hires, doing tasks that your manager should be doing, and or a team lead.
No promotions. Management always says to try again next year, but only one can get a promotion it turns out per year.
Cannot lateral move. You are blacklisted and stuck in department. No room for advancement because they need "butts in the seats" as account managers.
Terrible culture. Inter-departments fight each other and would seem to rather not do the work and bounce an issue around taking time away from actually getting it done.
