Stagnant Pay: Compensation packages do not keep pace with the industry standard or inflation. High-performers often find themselves underpaid compared to new hires or external roles.
Lack of Recognition: There is a noticeable gap in recognizing and rewarding top talent. Hard work is often met with more work rather than career advancement or financial incentives.
Management Gaps: Leadership often feels disconnected from the day-to-day contributions of the staff, leading to a "cogs in the machine" environment.
