Great people vs. very bad middle management

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

line staff are wonderful and will go out of their way to help when needed. Association members are great to work for and support. Potential for learning and networking is very, very high. PMI supports flexible working hours and is generally supportive of work/life balance of employees. Senior management (VP and higher), with just a few exceptions are excellent.

Cons

For some reason, senior management allows toxic managers to continue in their positions. Perhaps they are just not aware. Some managers are excellent, but not many. Many excellent employees have left because of bad management and feel that PMI will support bad managers over any staffing concerns.

Business Outlook

Pros

opportunity to make impact, intelligent and kind colleagues, benefits package, professional development opportunities

Cons

persistent restructuring with ownership and execution gaps, causing overworked and burnt-out teams across the organization. no support or direction for contributors to execute when upstream alignment doesn’t exist. expectations unrealistic for available support and resourcing. no direction on how to align initiatives to get resourcing. frankensteined systems across the organization. persistent pressure to automate and irresponsible investment spending without implementation support. overworked teams expected to fill gaps for unscoped work and requirements without any direction on how to reprioritize.
