Loved the job, employees and member's but micro management and poor hierarchy communication is the unproductive norm.

Pros

Most employees are wonderful, dedicated, kind, caring, loyal and great to work with. Benefits and hours are the best around. The PMI membership has some very talented and experienced volunteers that are not fully appreciated by management.

Cons

Continual, huge turnover since CEO Langley took office. Management is hyper sensitive, nervous, political, very policy heavy and micro managed. Management don't follow the work-life balance or company values they spend a lot of time creating. HR is so wrapped up in enforcing large company corporate policies they've forgotten PMI is a small company and listen to the employees, not only management.

Talented team but poor support and instability

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, flexibility with WFH setup, talented employees,

Cons

HR appears more focused on minimizing costs than supporting employees. I’ve seen serious issues raised, only to be dismissed or ignored, which has led to talented people leaving the organization. On the Marketing team, if people quit they are rarely replaced. You absorb the work that your former colleagues leave you. Very little opportunities for advancement unless you are a favorited employee.... ironic being a professional development organization. Management is also stretched thin and burned out, which limits their ability to effectively lead or support their teams’ growth. Frequent restructuring adds to the instability, making it difficult to feel secure or confident in the direction here.
