Heading in the wrong direction

Pros

Large and highly visible, being with the company opens up many opportunities.

Cons

Micro managing and chaos is understated, it is complete chaos. The different assets are ran differently from building to building and sometimes conflict. As a customer in multiple sites, you will need to learn the different rules for each site even though the different data centers are located within the same city. There is absolutely no professionalism within the property teams as they speak badly about other sites as well as on other departments. The REM would tell her staff that her boss has no backbone and that he should be working for her and not the other way around. If you were to present new ideas on how to make the job more efficient, you would be told that this is nice but the processes that are in place are there because that is how it has always been done.

Pros

A lot to learn about data center management. Good co-workers as long as they are on the same level.

Cons

Managers haven't figured out how to delegate and step back and let you do the job you were hired to do. There is constant micro-managing. They assign tasks and then you research and document only to find out that they did it anyway and wasted your time. There is ALWAYS a crisis and the entire office turns into panic-mode. Management sends out mixed signals.... They encourage "TEAM" but there is no such thing. The mood of the office depends on the manager's mood. It's only okay to joke if he/she is in a good mood. The managers badger the Assistants and belittle everyone. They beat you down and don't "get" how to build up morale. It seems like nothing is ever good enough. One minute, there is too much talking and the next minute it's too quiet
