Vantaggi
Your immediate supervisor will respond and seem to want to help, But!
Svantaggi
Utter lack of communication above your immediate supervisor. Your immediate supervisor will work to help, but I believe their hands are tied. Same with IT department - They are overworked, underpaid and it is a doo more with less, and if you do not your to blame. They are after the larger lenders, they care nothing for the ones in the trenches doing the work they get paid from. They have degraded the Appraiser profession and continue to degrade it until you are no longer a Professional but just a McDonald's line employee. They have withdrawn their 401K contribution, cut Appraiser fees by 25% plus their technology fee is a 50% cost to the Appraiser which pushes their contract % below the contract amount. Provided computers but no software 7 months later the computers still sitting unused.
