-The company has not modernized. The company has the ability to turn interesting jobs into mindless data entry. It only takes a few months for you to start hating your job.
-It's the company of multiple bosses. You will have at least two people you report to.
-Very limited opportunity to advance because everything is political. You have to fight for every small bit of chump change.
-The company runs a very lean shop. Low pay, plus few employees to do the task is a huge demotivator. In fact, I've often imagined this was how things are run in socialist countries. Little mobility, class structure already in place, and no matter how hard or how competent you are, you will be stuck in the same place with no chance of upward movement.
-Most people you work with will be unhappy. It's not very fun going to work every day and then hearing how most people in the office hate their jobs and the company.
-Due to low pay, the company attracts a thin layer of talent. If you have any talent, you will not be there long. And for the folks that are here for the long term, there aren't many mentors to give them any skills that will raise their profile.
