Frustrating

Pros

- Work culture does not pressure employees into working past scheduled hours. Good for work/life balance. - Mostly self-directed work. - Helpful coworkers. - There are always openings for similar positions in other parts of the country if you want to move elsewhere without losing job security. - Lots of safety training.

Cons

- Very high turnover. No room for upward career growth from a project manager position unless you want to do sales. - Company is way too decentralized/siloed. It seems like we have 50 VP's, and they're all in different parts of the US. - There's always an issue with the finances. The company is always behind on some financial goal and has to get everyone stressed about it. Employees in field-based positions with absolutely no accounting knowledge are supposed to understand financial processes and rules and help the company make its profits. - Constant tech issues. - Benefits and pay are not competitive with other employers. - Actual job training for a project manager position is almost non-existent and depends on you being lucky enough to have helpful coworkers who will teach you how to do your job. - They will tell you that you need a college degree to be a PM, but 75% of your coworkers and superiors' emails will read like a 4th grader wrote them.
