      little to no room for growth, poor salary, no overtime, long days, Micromanagement like no other

      Study-set up/project manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Free coffee in the cafeteria

      Cons

      Little to no room for growth. Applied internally multiple times and managers have favorites, so they will vengefully put in a bad word with upper level management if you dont stroke their ego. Poor pay, maybe at least 20k below industry standards and you will be working twice as hard only to be micromanaged with them reviewing every detail, questioning on your work, if your assignments really are taking that long, if you are working as hard as you can or if youre just being lazy (theres been a ten-fold increase since covid), pay-cuts, no reimbursements. You have to be prepared to take complete blame for everything and your manager wont help you, only tell you you look like youre struggling. Quick to fire people. VERY high turn over rates. Be warned. I absolutely do not recommend. If you can work any place else, please consider only taking this as your absolute last option

      Company is extremely understaffed. Departments don't work together. makes job very difficult.

      Laboratory project manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Can work from home 2x a week. Depending on your manager they can be flexible with time.

      Cons

      Salary is low in comparison to other project manager position and work load is high. They are extremely understaffed in every department. As a PM you feel like the punching bag for your clients because other departments are so backlogged nothing gets done on time and there is nothing that you can do as a PM but continuously get yelled at by sponsors for things that are completely out of your control. Other departments won't even let you email them directly which is a huge handicap. It is an extremely frustrating job and doesn't seem like its going to get better any time soon.
