Pros

I appreciate the opportunity to leverage internal niche experts such as those in insurance, banking/investments, lending, energy, etc. The financials presentation has improved over time. I feel that my pay for being an onsite manager is fair.

Cons

Too many tasks are being placed on the onsite teams. One example: Talent Acquisitions used to interview candidates and send a few quality folks over to us. Now we are setting up the job opening, fielding resumes, scheduling interviews, selecting a team member, collecting their background data, onboarding them, etc. I feel like much of the corporate team forget that supporting the onsite teams are the reason that their jobs exist (and that our onsite business is what brings in the money for them to get paid). There are too many softwares to learn and operate. A lot of what the corporate team thinks is simplifying may be making things easier for them but lengthier for us (example: Zendesk).

Pros

They take good care of the office people

Cons

Field workers are second hand citizens. Nepotism by language. Promote people that don't have the skill sets to do the job. The people that have the common sense to be leadership at this point don't want the responsibility anymore. What does that say?
