Setting you up for failure

Project manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Corporate culture and benefits and good.

Cons

Southern division sets all projects and teams up for failure. Unrealistic schedules, and budgets. Then then hold the project team accountable. Finger pointing central. And don't expect a bonus!

Worth It

Project engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Variety of benefits including student loan repayment, free mental healthcare programs, great PPO medical plan, many options for life insurance, health perks and incentives - Supportive; HR really does care about the employees and their wellbeing - Vertical and horizontal opportunities; you can fill any role if you put your mind to it, and they'll encourage it

Cons

- Long hours are expected just because of this industry, but in some cases not necessary (more of a perception thing) - Relocation opportunities; the area I was in was still growing and had some opportunities, however the wants of the employee were overshadowed by the needs of the company. A lot of coworkers commute 2+ hours each way, even a couple out of state - Not enough onboarding time; although the immediate responsibilities were a great chance for me to grow, many mistakes were left without feedback or ways to improve. - Although the site was very safe, the particular area the project in was very rough.
