Unruly business processes and high attrition due to dissatisfaction. (SCC)
Pros
Pick up a broad skillset due to interdisciplinary job functions of the team. Ability to quickly be a company asset and stand out if you put effort towards this. Resourceful and supportive coworkers that can get things done and can be counted on to help with any problem.
Cons
Business processes are often unruly. Constant battle to get business travel reimbursement corrected due to misinterpretation of policies. When the whole department travels a significant amount, there is little excuse for this. Mid-level management lacks discipline in communicating to each other and to their employees. Lacks effective employee management causing visible work dissatisfaction for whole teams and erupting in extreme personality conflicts. History of relying on disincentives and punitive actions to manage employee motivation and actions. Authoritative management style. Low standard and sometimes unprofessional product quality is acceptable. Arbitrarily stacking more responsibilities on most effective employees to the point of overburdening them instead of training an available coworker to qualify for the role. Rampant employee favoritism. Corporate politics reduce effectiveness of working with other teams.
