Unfortunately, the structure and leadership of the company leave a lot to be desired. On the Customer Success team especially, the hierarchy feels very unfair. Employees who have been with the company for years, with significant knowledge and experience, are paid less than new hires who often come in knowing nothing. There is little opportunity for growth or promotion within the company, as leadership tends to hire externally rather than developing and moving up internal talent.
Leadership has also grown detached from the original mission and values. This is supposed to be a healthcare company focused on helping people, but now it feels like money is the only priority. Leadership will even misrepresent contract pricing or change terms for schools, leaving frontline employees to be the “bad guy” delivering difficult news. Over the years, many strong leaders have left because of the toxic work environment, and the heart that once made the company special is no longer present.
For many employees who stay, it isn’t out of passion for the job, it’s because the job market is tough. That says a lot about the state of the workplace.
