-Lack of transparency — no clear visibility into performance expectations or metrics.
-High turnover — frequent departures create instability and low morale.
-Limited benefits beyond insurance — no 401(k) match, no HSA contributions, and no stipends for remote work.
-Below-market pay and PTO that accrues but is hard to take due to workload.
-Cultural challenges — limited personal connection among colleagues, with a primary focus on business output over team-building.
-Small market reach — strong in its niche, but not competitive with larger players in other industries.
