Pros
Handful of hardworking people willing to teach you & help you grow
Cons
Not enough accountability within the management & executive level.
You will spend entirely too much time & energy following up with management & executives on the same internal issues. It’s a never ending cycle that has a huge impact on productivity within an entire department. All you can do is continue to follow-up or bring it up in meetings to ensure your efforts are not lost.
There are known bottlenecks across multiple departments where process improvements & metrics can be applied however no one will own their share of the work to implement improvements. Sales is the ONLY focus, to hell with the other driving forces that make a company successful.
High volume of errors, high turn around time for corrective actions.
You are rewarded with more pressure and more responsibility to assist in fixing issues outside of your department because other managers can’t be counted on to do their job.
