Vantaggi
I was able to learn a lot about executing marketing operations tactics, which has been very helpful since leaving Miles. However, the abuse I took while being there was not worth the knowledge gained.
Svantaggi
Managers knowingly give their direct reports more work than can possibly be handled in a day or week and expect you to do absolutely whatever it takes to get it done. When this issue is addressed they tell you to "work smarter not harder" then suggest you work on the weekend and from home in the evening to make up for it. The work here is redundant and technical. I worked 10 - 11 hour days on weekdays and 6 - 8 hours each weekend day and still couldn't finish all that was assigned to me. This sacrifice was not appreciated and no help was given, even when requested; I was expected to finish it regardless. This is not surprising considering everyone there works about the same amount. I started making mistakes because I was exhausted and stressed out and instead of any positive discussion or help, I was taken into a room and yelled at (literally) by the vice president while my boss and the GM watched. I tried to explain that the work load was too much, that it couldn't legally be expected, but was interrupted regularly and basically told that I needed to decide if I was "cut out to work" there. I was given a horrendous review simply because I couldn't keep up with the workload and my boss hired my replacement, intending to fire me, in expectation of me not meeting the 30 day probation requirements set for me after the review. Needless to say I quit before they could fire me....the extremely turnover at Miles proves this. Mostly they hire young kids right out of college who don't know any better, who think they have to put up with their bullying. Beware.
