Great place if your goal is to collect a paycheck; not great if you want a career - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso PMA Financial

When I was working at PMA Financial, I repeatedly asked for a promotion to the assistant manager level. I had been doing the job for years, and was not receiving the credit and pay associated with that job. After repeatedly asking my boss for a promotion, and receiving little feedback as to why I was not going to advance in my career after several years, I pointed out to him that my current job description did not reflect all the extra responsibilities I had taken on (without being asked) over the years. He agreed, and we nearly doubled my job description length with all my extra supervisory tasks. I assumed that since we worked on this together, and he accepted all the changes, that would finally lead to a promotion. Instead, he simply added it to my current job description, with no change in title/pay. After complaining to my manager's boss, I was finally given a title change, with a weak $2k annual pay raise, but I was still not promoted to assistant manager. After repeatedly asking for feedback on what I needed to do to get there (and being told unhelpful and unmanagerial phrases like "You just aren't ready," or "It isn't the right time"), I left for a new opportunity with large amounts of career advancement, and could not be happier. In addition to the lack of opportunity, the company is not flexible. There is no paid maternity/paternity leave, no work from home policy, and strict 8 to 4:30 pm hours (if you want to leave at 2:30, you will need to take 1/4 day of PTO). The PTO is weak for recent college grads (ten days, including sick/personal/vacation), and eventually works up to 25 days after 12 years. The technology is extremely weak, despite the sister company being a technology company.
