Pros
Teams are generally friendly (I’ve been promoted through a couple of them), and willing to assist but…
Cons
The pay is low, like 40k below the same role (Project Manager) elsewhere. The benefits are expensive and don’t cover much. Training and onboarding are mostly a pile of old SOPs and you just need to figure out the rest. There are very few opportunities for real advancement, there just aren’t a lot of openings as you move past entry level. Many young less experienced people are slotted into roles they sometimes don’t have the professional acumen for, best guess is because more experienced professionals demand a higher salary. Leadership is tone deaf, for instance ALL the quarterly awards for exemplary performance all went to C level (Q1 2024 - CTO, CCO, CIO, CFO), like we’re really celebrating the CFO for their collaboration with other departments!? That’s their whole job.. come on.
