Compensation vs. Workload: Salaries are good but don’t fully reflect the level of responsibility, pressure, and impact of the work—especially when compared to industry. The workload can be intense, and fairer compensation models would help retain top talent.
High Demands & Constant Connectivity: The nature of the work, particularly in business development and flash, requires constant engagement, quick responses, and deep involvement. The expectation to always be "on" can make it hard to disconnect, leading to burnout if not managed properly.
Pressure to Deliver: Because the work is so impactful, there’s a lot of pressure to perform at a high level. While this can be motivating, it can also be overwhelming without the right support structures in place.
