Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is consistent and it is easy to look good here. Expectations are low and it is easy to stay busy.

Cons

Red tape. People keep leaving so there are opportunities to take more responsibilities but that does not come with more pay or promotions. Extremely toxic leadership. Every Business Center is responsible for their own revenue and has big growth goals, this causes each BC to hoard work. The IT Systems are outdated and so is their accounting system. Timesheets are painfully slow and take up too much time each week. Only take this job if you are desperate.
