- Lack of Training
- Lack of Organization - I still don't know what 95% of the company does or who anyone is.
- Information Overload - constant referrals to weblinks that overwhelm you with useless information.
- Everyone's favorite answer is "I don't know" ... so there's no way to learn how to do your job. But everyone expects you to know how to do your job - and help them with theirs.
- Constant change - some departments have one management/workflow structure, others do not. There's no 'shared language' or expectations on SLA's or processes
- Some people are workaholics, others are laid back, and there's no way to find balance between the two.
It truly is the Hunger Games ... may the odds be in your favor. Once you walk in the door, you're on your own.
