Pros
In the beginning it was a small, tight-knit group of amazing individuals, all experts in their respective areas. The following year some plans fell apart and materials department over hired the wrong personnel for the anticipated year. DIvision amonst the divison became clearly visible, HR was sloppy in documentation, cire vakues were kist, I myself was ubclear f what my responsibilties were and my title was neer clear. Promotion was never told or an offer letter given, the final day i all of a sudden was now a field engineer, organizational graphs around the office said I was Pm-in training, "Official" title was assistant PM, towards the end I was doing full-blown PM work and responsibilities yet was lowest paid salaried examples like another assistant PM was making more, field engineers made more. I made it known and felt like I was disciplined for it. My work load consisted of handling 20-30 active projects while still being in the field due to being short-handed. They slowly learned and eventually got a few small projects, about 3-4 each, for them to get experience. Workload and title was unfair comapred to compensation, and I was their year senior. Felt very underappreciated.
Cons
Retain the good people, properly giving raises to those that deserved it, and materials downfall towards the end. Booking rates backwards as more salaried began to be in field more rather than techs, which rates are proposed and accepted at. Leading to little write-ups for most projects and mostly writedowns. A wide range of areas only our office decided to cover, and it was clear techs were getting run down to the dirt.
