Surescripts reviews about "management"

Long hours, complex architecture due to lack of architectural direction and standards early on.

Career progression is dependent on age, less than great raises.

Not necessarily a "Con" but there is always something important that needs to be done so this can potentially impact work-life balance. Parking is not free but that is par for the course in downtown Minneapolis.

Parking is not free. Depends on what groups you are with, there could be long hours on a periodic basis.

Lots of tribal knowledge / not enough documentation about internal processes or how things actually work, combined with high expectations from management, makes the initial on-boarding and learning curve a bit stressful.

The largest (and arguably one of the only) things I feel is hurting our organization are a few apathetic managers. [Note - these folks are the minority. You could honestly count them on one hand. However - they're in pivotal roles, and far reaching effects on other teams] I feel like there are still some decision-makers who don't really have their heart in their work. This manifests into a variety of different things: * Manager indifference. When you fail to have an opinion of your own, that you're willing to defend, people aren't confident in moving forward. We need passionate and opinionated leaders (with some humility) who can inspire confidence and excitement in their team. * Laziness. When you become apathetic to your work, you don't really care about finding the "right" solution - as much as you often care about finding the most convenient one. We've made many decisions (arguably bad ones) which can be traced back to a single leader failing to leave their comfort zone and consider taking on more work to "do it correctly the first time." * Defensiveness. There's more than a few folks who are hyper-protective of their teams and departments. They'll try to direct blame to other teams or departments if and when mistakes are discovered. There are also teams that want to maintain complete control and whose management does not foster cross-department cooperation. This "dog-eat-dog" style means that other departments cannot get reasonable requests made in good faith completed in a timely manner. **The only other thing** I'd say is a con would be the silly anniversary and birthday cards you (HR) send out. A single signature on a generic card that doesn't even have my name is the most hilariously impersonal greeting card I've ever received. Honestly - you'd be better off not sending them at all. They used to rub me the wrong way, though now I just chuckle.

Lack of leadership. Everything is always a crisis. Management is never forthcoming. Be careful of expressing a different viewpoint. You get shot down and labeled as a negative contributor. Co-workers can be deceiving.
