Pros
Good pay. That's about it.
Cons
Management heavily micromanages day-to-day tasks—approximately 80% of your time is scripted, leaving little room for autonomy or real problem-solving. Zero investment in improvement initiatives; no budget, no tools, and minimal support to drive meaningful change. Emphasis is placed on visibility and performative involvement over actual results or maintenance effectiveness. The culture among upper management is toxic, with frequent backstabbing and blame-shifting to protect personal interests. High turnover in the maintenance manager role speaks volumes—six managers in recent history is not a coincidence. Future managers: be prepared to prioritize optics over substance. Playing the part and appeasing leadership may get you further than doing the actual work.
