Each employee is pulling from that pool and some may be using more than others which is slowing down the speed for all. Do other employees have this issue? If they are unwilling to pay for a faster connection, this is an issue that may persist.

In other words, if her devices are working fine at home, but sluggish at work, then it's an issue at work, but not with her device. Which in turn, means, that's an issue for her IT department at work. That's what they get paid for. Make the earn their pay.

Many companies do just that, have a trusted network that only allows corporate hardware to connect, and a completely separate network for private hardware to connect with. Often, the second network is deliberately throttled, or has limited bandwidth, as they want to limit non-corporate use of their networks, or they simple do not wish to invest very much in that network, and instead focus their investment on the secure corporate network instead.
My work place is like this - our secured wifi network is quite good, but restricted to corporate hardware only, or formally approved personal devices. Anything else can connect to the "less secure" guest network (still requires a WPA2 password), but it is noticeably slower.
