Pros
Nothing at all. It’s a shameful place to be at.
Cons
The C suite are only here to syphon out the organisations funds. Recently they all flew to Argentina for a “meeting”- not sure why, because PMI has no offices there nor does any of the leadership team live there. But this is a regular phenomena where the “big guys” misuse member money to enjoy life. Nothing concrete ever gets discussed in these meetings. Promotions and senior roles are handed to people for reasons other than their skills and ability to do the job. There is a toxic mid-management rung that only engages in pleasing the C suite. Their teams below are neglected and are ordered around, handed responsibilities with no real decision making powers. Total lack of trust and micromanagement is the flavor of this rung of people. The CEO is fussy and temperamental with no real strategic direction. Teams waste time focusing on choosing the choicest of restaurants for him to wine and dine, putting him up in fancy suites and making him look good on social media. So much for responsible use of member dollars. The CMO… this one’s a joke. She hires and fires people for fun. Her current focus is on hiring a bunch of incompetent “friends and neighbours” from and around the west coast. There are regional heads who are hired only because they were past colleagues and friends of the C suite. Favoritism plagues regional teams. The organisation is run by fear and deceit. HR is rendered helpless and remains mostly non existent. The most ironic thing about PMI is the complete lack of project management practices internally.
