There are a lot of jobs like this in economies where stasis and stability are prized over creative destruction. These organization continue to exist because companies are considered sacrosanct ... they are sources of jobs that are to be protected at all costs. The jobs themselves are sacrosanct. Very hard and slow to fire people. So people hire slowly. So there are few jobs. So the few open positions are positions where the employer abuses the employees. Have you ever noticed how many smart French programmers there are in the USA? People vote with their feet when given a chance.
