Poor Leadership Training

Pros

Good Salary, Some good co-workers, has Internship Program

Cons

Leadership has one and only one measurement for success/ career advancement: how much money can you make the board. And it took me along time to realize that my intentions and goals did not align with that. Cronyism is rampant and while it may be true that there is 30% diversity in Ethnic and Female hires, the number for promotions certainly isn't anywhere near that. Internal clients (Project Managers and other Leaders will throw you under the bus if a project goes wrong rather than properly communicate their needs/ issues). As they will not provide facts directly to you for debate nor confirm an understanding, they'd simply go to my manager directly to say they would rather not work with you. A 2024 Career Development handbook states on average, employees need 5 statements of positive reinforcement over 1 negative. Perhaps this will help them change for the better as effective leaders have not been cultivated.

San Diego Office

Business Outlook

Pros

Company growing rapidly through mergers and acquisitions. Fair wages, stocked kitchen with alcohol & snacks and occasional lunches.

Cons

High turnover, but they are gaining EEs through the M&As so they won't say so. Most senior leadership have been with the company their entire careers and are both not qualified for the positions they hold and do not take well to any new ideas or change. SD Office Specifically: Very disjointed office split between the Cost/PM teams and HR/Talent Acquisition. People are nice, but most hate their job. No career growth opportunities for admin under current leadership.
