Vantaggi
You will learn and be expected to do about four to five different jobs simultaneously, while being underpaid for the one you are hired for. Great exposure, but know you are genuinely paid 50% or less of the market standard for what you do. It’s why hiring managers focus on high school grads and not college grads.
Svantaggi
Career growth conversations happen infrequently. Actual promotions, never. Employees carrying the full weight of multiple senior roles will be told repeatedly that “things will get better” or “better pay is coming soon.” It doesn’t. When colleagues leave (and they do leave) their responsibilities quietly redistribute onto whoever is still standing. No conversation, no compensation adjustment, no acknowledgment. Just more work with the same title and the same pay. We have cut our employee count in half with layoffs and quits the last two years, and our client count has only grown. All that work has been absorbed by every grunt. Pay raise has gone up maybe $20/check over that same time despite work doubling. How is this okay? Employees repeatedly raise concerns about critical product failures affecting small healthcare practices, clinicians whose entire livelihoods depended on accuracy. Leadership continues selling anyway. Client-facing employees absorb the fallout. Real people, running real small businesses, lose real income. It’s awkward cold calling as the reputation of the company is beginning to precede itself. Every. Single. Director. comes thirty minutes past start time and leaves thirty minutes early while others in charge of the real work stay hours later just to keep their heads above water with all the fires. I’m looking at sales directors AND customer success directors. We all have kids, only managers and directors are allowed to come late and leave early for them. They then ask their associates to stay late to cover shifts, while they peace out early. This, to me, is reflective of managements entire attitude towards their jobs and direct reports. Managers clearly aren’t listening to our feedback or else churn would be better and you’d see managers butts in seats before employees- and staying the full day. Ridiculous. Why should we be here when you aren’t
