Not Enough Pay

Project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fairly good benefits and culture is good. Great place to gain experience to move to another company that pays better.

Cons

1. Not enough pay for leading large scale IT projects. They are one of the lowest paying employers in central Ohio. 2. Pay equality is nonexistent. Unfortunately, non white people and women are most impacted. 2. Outdated processes and procedures, tons of red tape. 3. Too large, felt like a number.
