      Overworked and underpaid

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The work structure is very well defined and has a well controlled process with specific gates and milestones. The products are mostly pre-defined modules that require any customizations to be accurately captured and tested.

      Cons

      Because of the well defined process, the project managers as well as other resources are assigned an overload of projects that make it impossible to provide quality service to clients. It is more than the norm for a conscientious project manager to spend an average of 60-70 hours a week and provide only less than adequate service for a salary at the very low end of the scale.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      pay health benefits vacation benefits roll over to new year some are great people to work with

      Cons

      Sr. Management cares more about stock price and their personal bonuses than their employees or clients Resourcing is "temporary challenge" that never is fixed - 1.5-2 FTE workload is expected (but not appreciated) over promise work/life balance - very difficult to achieve AND still meet expectations (but sr level management will repeatedly denies this) good vacation time but rarely approved to use - management attitude is it rolls over into new year and you'll get paid for when you leave the company metrics metrics metrics - systems systems systems - spend as much time reporting what you do as actually doing
