Pros
2.5 years ago I had a unique opportunity to manage a department that would need complete restructuring. Partnering with my immediate supervisor and executives, I brought forward new initiatives to create immediate growth and key ideas to increase employee retention. Since then the department has continued to exceed expectations while most of the employees have been with me since I started. I am reminded that our success is a DIRECT reflection of the company. The companies willingness to listen to new ideas, approve new initiatives, take risk, support me in driving change while stretching me along the way. I encourage everyone to think outside of the box and bring forward great ideas or solutions to drive growth. We are surrounded by present Supervisors and an Executive team, willing to listen and "OUR" ideas make a difference.
Cons
Continue to create growth paths for long-term employees across departments.
