- minimal/lackluster training and continued learning resources - management is focused on sales for the sake of the KPI, not the quality of the sales - it is not uncommon for problems and inefficiencies to exist for months (sometimes years) before they get address --> misaligned priorities - following recent acquisitions there has been no clear plan or structure to merge the organizations - very siloed - all departments are looking out for themselves with little concern to the holistic impact to the company ops - disappointing raises - while the CSM team is close and supportive of each other, we often come together to support each other through frustration, stress, and overwhelm
