Pros

Few emails after 6pm and on weekends

Cons

For an organization in the project management space, PMI can’t execute a project to save its life. The culture is a political mess that rewards those who spread inaccurate information, do zero work, interfere with people actually trying to do work, treat others disrespectfully, and pin teams against one another. The CEO is self-serving and decisions are made irrationally to accommodate pre-existing outside friendships. PMI chooses to outsource pretty much everything to ridiculously expensive contractors and agencies, while hiring copious amounts of internal colleagues to “manage” these relationships, but not do any of the work. Finally, there is practically no accountability whatsoever, which simply rewards the dead weight.

Pros

PDUs Helping People Giving back to your community Really having the feeling that you make a difference I put myself where the rubber meets the road by taking peoples opinions seriously

Cons

I can't speak for every chapters leadership staff. Some chapters, like our sister Chapter, seem to have their stuff together, everyone works in unison and not only do they accomplish their goals but board members have the freedom take on additional side projects in an attempt to make the chapter better. Not my chapter. You do what you're told or they'll happily find your replacement. It makes you not want to contribute. I'm an extrovert so by nature I move quickly, get as much done as feasibly possible, love interacting w/ everyone and am always looking for ways to improve our chapter (Not myself, our chapter). Here's the problem; my chapter isn't interested in individuals performing at peak levels. They're interested in defining your position via 5 or 6 bullet points and then go out of their way to ensure that you stay in your box. Problem is that I'm an entrepreneur at heart. If I'm walking down a hallway and see a light bulb out, I'm not calling maintence, I'm fixing the lightbulb. The Chapter is big on 'swim lanes'. Swim lanes are the most idiodic 'leadership' 'skillset' ever created. It's worthless and slows productivity. As of this review 5 people, FIVE, have resigned from the chapter Board of Directors in the last 3-4 years and while I admit that I'm proud of our chapter president, even at times looking to him as a mentor, I don't get the impression that he holds the leadership skills. or the courage to do what it takes to reign his board in.
