Poor management and lack of clear growth path

Mep drafter

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Diverse clientele make for interesting work. Rarely lacking in work.

Cons

Sub par benefits for the size of company. Upper management seems oblivious to how poor the benefits are. Pay is well under(10-15%) the area average. Very difficult to determine requirements for growth/promotion path. Seems to be an unspoken rule that you will work the hours necessary to complete a project, even if it means working unpaid overtime due to not enough allocated budget.

Too many chiefs, not enough indians

Systems analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Bigger company, decent starting pay, makes you think you will earn progression

Cons

They would rather hire externally than replace you in your current position. They make it sound like they are doing you a favor by allowing you to get the raise that you earned. WAY too many chiefs fighting over how to proceed... and not enough indians to get the job done so you work massive overtime *for me, by choice to try to compensate my poor pay for the jobs dumped on me* to get the job(s) done. They cater too much to the client with unrealistic goals with bare bones staff vs investing in their employees longevity.

Opportunities abound, if you can survive the grind.

Business Outlook

Pros

There is a plethora of higher responsibilities and challenges even for younger staff. You will manage projects 2-3 years out of school.

Cons

No consistency in the offices- it’s a patchwork company. This leads to inability to work share, feuds between managers, and some employees getting treated better than others.
