Cons

It can get hectic at times, meaning some weeks are difficult and long.

Some people who don't set boundaries can burn out fast.

Turnover can be pretty high, usually due to moving on and up to better positions, but sometimes due to burnout.

Advice to Management

Be aware and take steps to combat burnout so the people who are raising the bar are able to continue working at the company.

Keep doing everything else just as well as it is.
