Pros
- The experience while working here, will prepare you for anything you may deal with in future job positions.
Cons
- No official training process. Sink-or-swim mentality. - Work-life balance is nonexistent. A lot of project managers are forced to work late nights, and over the weekends just to keep up with the demand of the workload. - The workload is heavier than most project management positions but the pay is a lot less. - Processes and job duties are constantly changing making it hard to keep up at times. - Management and senior project managers are constantly gossiping about previous employees and employees in other departments. - In addition to the previous point, we are required to fill out an anonymous employee satisfaction survey. Our manager would encourage us to be honest but then turn around and tell us how when a previous employee reported alarming behavior from a manager, our manager and other leaders tried to investigate to find out who submitted that survey. - Management tears down employees a lot, and does not seem to take accountability for anything that goes wrong. The PM's are extremely overworked and our manager would often tell us how she used to have heavier workloads when she was in our position, in an effort to make us work harder. - Nearly impossible to grow or succeed with the heavy workload, constantly changing demands and duties. - Managers single you out a lot, instead of discussing with you where you are going wrong, and helping you improve. I personally have had my manager not bring up an issue to me in our weekly one-on-one meetings, and then call me out in our team meeting multiple times. - Everyone is so overworked and stressed out it leaves everyone on edge, and short tempered, and makes it difficult to effectively communicate with each other. - The work environment is so tense due to all of these factors, but everyone tip-toes around it making it even worse.
