Sim joined painter career, promoted as normal until level 6 where we have to choose a career path. After this, no more promotions, just earning a raise. I tried with multiple careers and it still occurs. Every time my sim finishes work and starts daily task, the performance bar rests from excellent to average.

I'm having this problem as well. I'm 90% sure it's related to this week's update...
Same issue for me. Started a new save, base game only, no mods/cc. Playing through the part-time jobs first (Renaissance Sim aspiration), and hit a wall with the Retail Worker job. She gets a raise every single day she works, or even if she takes a vacation day, but does not get promoted to the next level. Something tells me a shelf-stocker making $363/hour isn't intentional.
Editing to give additional information: Job performance bar is never reaching max, yet she still gets a raise at the end of her shift each workday (or vacation day), and she gets not +1 but +3 in terms of raises. (Saw it jump from +33 to +36 from one day of going, and again +36 to +39 the next day.) Additionally, the performance bar resets at 1am in-game each day. She also gets a moodlet/buff for getting a promotion, despite not actually getting promoted each day.
Editing again to add: Definitely seems tied to the Entreprenurial trait. I did have that on my sim and had read others' comments stating the same. I removed the trait and finally, she did not get a raise the next day at work. So temporary workaround, I guess, but hopefully will be fixed soon enough. It must have been about that time that I got the reward trait and not tied to her actual job choice. Highest paid shelf stocker ever! (At least she has a healthy rainy day fund now!) She got promoted the next time, and the salary popup is amusing!
This happened to me.
In career (when I was doing "have a child reaches the top of a career"), I experienced a jump from level 5 to level 9 in one shift when I was doing the athlete career for both of my young adults. After I hit level 9, no matter how many times they go to work, the bar will go from "average" to "good/excellent", and after that, it went back to "average", and I can never get a promotion in any career. I can never hit level 10 in the athlete career, and thus I can never complete the "have a child reaches the top of a career". I have "Connections" and "Entrepreneurial" trait for both young adults. I believe the bug is in the "Entrepreneurial" trait. Tomorrow, I will test having another child to go top of a career without the "Entrepreneurial" trait, and see if it works for "have a child reaches the top of a career".
I do not use mods, MCCC or cc. My game is 100% vanilla, and I played in a PC. I believe the problem comes in the update.

Same bug here. Tried it on Mac and PS4, without CC and Mods
Both sims have entrepreneurial
I play-tested this bug a bit, hope this helps solve the issue
1. removing Entrepeneurial trait solves the issue, i got promotion no prob (so that indicates that this bug is probably tied to boosting career performance)
2. I have entrepreneurial + professional slacker + responsible + 5-star celebrity and tried to skip my shift altogether, i didn't get any visual boost on the scale, i even lost some of it, but when shift "ended", I've got 3! promotions at once (got from level 5 culinary career to 8 instantly)
3. when i tried to remove fame and any perks that give career boost (except entrepreneurial) and generally tried to slack off at job, so that the bar wouldn't go to right end, i still got promotion by 3 levels at once, which definitely indicates, that issue is tied with entrepreneurial reward trait
I have this problem too since the update on PC. My sim has the entrepreneurial trait too, but they had it ages ago, it's just since the update that it will only give me raises and not promote.
I do use mods, MCCC and UI cheats, but they are all up to date and there's never been a problem with them and promotions before
This happened to me too, but I have the "Entrepreneurial" trait too on two Sims in the same household. My other Sim that has the trait is working through their job just fine and made it to the 10th promotion, all I didn't get for said job was the achievement for it.
I also do not use mods or packs and cheats are also not on.
