Good pay, but a miserable and chaotic organization

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is good for the area.

Cons

Absolutely miserable organization. I work 16 hr days. Leadership doesn’t care. I didn’t find out until after I was hired that the team is a revolving door. One person recently just up and quit without anything lined up. Another leader departed and told me there’s no use because this team is designed to fail. Others work night and day to deliver and are told they’re inefficient but aren’t given time to become more efficient. Absolutely miserable experience.
