Changing and not necessarily for better

Operations manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Hybrid working instead of going into office every day. Great insurance benefits & 401k matching. Nice people :)

Cons

Most merit increases are small- which is not fun to give as a manager. Upper management can be cold- do not seem to care much for those doing the hard work. Too much change too fast- lower morale.

Pros

High income and you get to travel. A lot.

Cons

Poor management trickles down from the top. High turnover unfair treatment. If they don’t like you then they’ll find a way to fire you regardless if you are performing. There were 3 Heads of HR while I was there.

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance is the best part of the job, the benefits are good and the resources and support are extremely useful. I work from home 100% of the time and am only expected to come in office for big meetings or events. Management in my department is pretty laid back and I feel supported by my direct supervisors. Everyone I have worked with here is very hard working, supportive, and understanding. There are many opportunities for career growth both in my department and outside of my department.

Cons

With recent change in leadership the overall culture of the company has shifted drastically, There isn't as much support from upper leadership and everyone seems to be stretched thin in terms of workload. There are very high expectations for performance, doing just what your job scope requires is never enough. Things shift and change very fast and often.
