Ok pay. Great environment for learning (ideal for new hires).

Where do I even begin?

This place operates like an exclusive club. If you're not playing the political game, you can forget about any promotion, no matter how hard you work or how qualified you are.

Leadership is a joke. They are incompetent, constantly asking irrelevant questions, and completely incapable of articulating any real vision. All they do is slap on short-term fixes and try to keep things running without spending a dime on real planning or long-term solutions.

They are understaffed, yet somehow expected to work beyond regular business hours, with zero incentives for training or professional growth. Their brilliant “plan” is to dump all the training responsibilities on senior staff, piling on more stress and making it impossible for them to get their actual work done.

This isn't a workplace—it's a mess being held together by burnt-out employees and clueless management.

Advice to Management:

Start leading. Invest in proper staffing, training, and long-term planning instead of patchwork fixes. Your incompetence is burning out your best people, and they won’t stick around forever.
