If your intention is to let them know what’s wrong so they can improve, go for it. If you just want to share your frustration, then there’s no need.
Be honest but diplomatic. He’s probably very aware of these issues and hopefully this will give him added ammunition to go to management. That’s me being all glass is half full.

True. Unless he’s the one causing some of the issues. 🤔
Honestly, exit interviews aren’t for the employer to improve. They are done to let the exiting employee vent so they don’t go bad mouthing the agency. I’d just say better opportunity. But be prepared for them to ask if there was anything they could have done to make your experience better. Then be diplomatic.

Why the urge to tell them now vs before?
Thanks everyone for the great advice!
Small community. Don’t burn bridges. But be honest and constructive.
Smile. Thank them for taking a chance on you. Tell them your learned a lot but unfortunately you got an offer you just couldn’t refuse.
Tell them the truth
Both! Not mutually exclusive points. Your boss can report back on the exit info and try to make a case for change. Be honest on both counts. Keep it unemotional. Talk up the benefits you actually feel. But it’s okay to be balanced without fear of burning bridges. Good luck!
Blow up that bridge
I am in the same place! Thanks for all the advice!
Don’t burn bridges even with assholes. Even bad bosses know people who know people l
Take the high road don’t say anything negative it won’t matter and your gone anyway you may end up working with one of them
again you got nothing to gain.
Please, please, please be honest. As long as you do it in a constructive way, bridges don’t get burned.
Your bosses are already mad you’re leaving. They somehow always take it personally. Tread delicately.
Don’t burn bridges! You’ll thank yourself in the near future.
As someone who manages a team, I would prefer diplomatic honesty.
Honest but respectful.
I’m in team “give them the feedback”. I know where I’ve worked, they take exit interviews verbatims to use as proof that change is needed. “People are leaving because of X, a number of people stated in their exit interviews confirms this”
