Good job for someone right out of college - Recensione dipendente - Development Associate presso Hanover Research

Just started a standardized on-boarding process and it shows. A lot of self teaching which is fine if you pick the right mentor, but since everyone is out for their own gain, you get a lot of "this is how i do it, but that's just me" and "they tell you to do this, but it takes so much time I wouldn't bother", so you come across a lot of work that needs to be redone before you can get to your own job. I wasn't taught how to generate contact lists (an essential job function) until I had been calling for a week and a half. Also, because they're expanding so quickly, directors and associates found themselves bumping into each other's potential clients. I didn't have a director for almost the first 3 weeks I was in the position, and found myself with very little to do, and zero guidance, and when I finally had a director assigned to me, it was a guy who worked in another office. As a new employee, I don't think that was very fair for either of us.
