Vantaggi
Meeting people from different departments and learning what they did in their role. I met some wonderful people on the HR, marketing and IT team that were helpful and explained the business better.
Svantaggi
Manager often appeared disconnected from the team’s current needs, and communication styles at times included microaggressions toward team members from diverse backgrounds. Lack of structured project or task tracking, which made it difficult to move initiatives forward. Meetings necessary for progress were frequently postponed or avoided. Frequent negative and unprofessional comments made about other departments, particularly executive support staff, when expectations were not met. I was asked to develop projects without clear requirements, despite a separate consulting agency already working on the same initiative, leading to duplicated effort. Team collaboration was challenging; consistent late arrivals, ticket-based responsibilities ignored, so support was limited and team attitude was poor. The role was advertised as a systems analyst/process efficiency position but included unrelated maintenance duties, moving 50 pound packages daily. The realities of these expectations were not previously set.
