Cons

- As a junior I was a shared resource with a "generalist" experience. Thus, I was never really an expert in one category. (which is not exactly a con except for the fact that I was given tasks from manager to manager and nobody would take the time to mentor me) - Never really had any feedback in my work, nor any one 1:1 meetings to speak about my performance or get any sort of leadership. - Onboarding could use some work. In my personal experience I was expected to find a way to integrate myself without being left behind. - Emphasis is put on managers, managers have 1:1 meetings, and are taken care of quite well, juniors have meetings cancelled on them, there is just no time for junior staff.

Advice to Management

Don't hire junior staff unless you have proper structure to mentor your junior staff, and find ways to promote growth for them. Take ownership over fostering growth in your employees, especially those that you demand tasks from. Otherwise, they will leave.
