Too many to list:
1) Upper management makes the teams run like headless chickens; there's no direction, no feedback and no planning.
2) The facility and equipment are old and outdated.
3) Chaotic policies and internal procedures that contradict one another. The documentation system is just an unreliable big mess and no one seems willing to change it, every attempt to update it is met with a big wall of "No"s.
4) Managers refuse to listen to their own teams when feedback and concerns are raised. High turnover of people with knowledge as they know its useless to try to adhere to GMPs. They expect people to not question and just obey.
5) Training is non-existent, it is up to the employees to find their way through the systems as sometimes managers are not familiar with the systems themselves.
6) Blame culture and secrecy are common throughout different teams.
7) Lack of proper work distribution, some people get overworked and some others get to stay idle for weeks straight.
8) At some point some areas feel like a Men's Club and the language used in teams meetings is uncomfortable due to the lack of professionalism.
9) Some colleagues get carried away by stress and become real bullies. Which can be humiliating.
10) No career progression on sight.
