3. Lack of challenge. How many hours I have to commit. I focused on pay and benefits when I took my job. I didn’t fully realize how much time is our greatest and only asset. I would definitely consider this if ever looking for another one.
4. I felt that my previous company seldom cohesively brought all the employees to recognize our common goal. Perhaps it was the lack of communication at meetings, or lack of non-work related projects for the larger community as a whole, but I always thought it would have been great to add that ‘community’ component to the workplace.
