Good place to work - Recensione dipendente - Project Manager presso Traylor Bros.

Hands on Experience in the field and office working with good people.

None that I experienced as an Intern but I heard you have to move fairly frequently but are well compensated.

In my tenure within the IT department, I had the privilege of working under an exceptional manager whose leadership qualities were unparalleled. The scope of work was broad, and he played a pivotal role in advancing my career in IT significantly. He fostered a culture of learning and growth, guiding us with the aim of preparing us to eventually step into leadership roles ourselves, equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge. Under his mentorship, I gained valuable experience and was entrusted with management-related tasks, enhancing my professional profile and enabling me to add significant managerial experience to my resume. My time in the Information Technology department at Traylor Bros., Inc. was an incredibly enriching phase of my career, for which I am profoundly grateful.

Navigating the political landscape within this organization presents a considerable challenge. It appears that recognition and value are often correlated with tenure and direct financial contribution to the company. As someone within the information technology department, I've observed that our work is sometimes perceived merely as a cost center rather than a strategic asset. However, there is significant potential for a shift in perspective. If management were to embrace IT as a catalyst for innovation, focusing on application development and leveraging technology to streamline operations, the company could transform into a dynamic and forward-thinking workplace. It's also important to address the company culture shaped by those at the top. The Division Managers and the brothers who own the company have a tendency towards an authoritarian style, which can manifest in condescension during times of stress or disagreement. A change in this attitude could foster a more respectful and collaborative environment.
