Pros

I was asked to return to a company Citi recently acquired in 2007. With that, I believed that the job that I was doing was going to help our clients and our staff be successful. Instead the dysfunctional organization continued to spend money on bad decisions and upper management was not held accountable. I delivered my work on-time, bridged fractured client relationships and began making end-roads to baselining our staff with Citi's delivery model. Suddenly, I was caught in the middle of the 50,000 person layoff and yet am the only senior project manager who was relieved of their duties.

Cons

Day-to-day, staff are not sure what changes are going to happen. The management staff in Columbus don't talk with clients, their own staff which leads to no one really knowing where the intiatives are going.

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
