Pros

Pay and some of the colleague I got to trauma bond with

Cons

Zero work life balance. The amount of manual admin work is comical given the amount of revenue this company generates. Invest in technology that helps with operational efficiency. Lots of favoritism happening. Most work night I was working until 11pm at night putting out fires at various locations.

Pros

This position offers a great deal of empowerment to hire, train and develop your team and run your business. No day is ever the same and you get to be out from behind a desk engaging with people. The team I have worked with and the leaders I have worked for have challenged me to grow and develop in every step of my journey here.

Cons

There are a lot of competing priorities so the ability the prioritize, make decisions and be flexible is vital to success.

Pros

-Managers not physically there to breathe down your neck constantly -No pressure to lift heavy stuff yourself, the recommend getting a vendor to handle heavy loads - Walking around is built into the Job, gotta walk around the check the facility -No random times. Office opens at 9:30 and closes at 6 (5 on the weekends) no true clopening shifts

Cons

-Corporate throws darts at the wall for changes each month -Often times very little help while taking the full blame for situations you were forced into from lack of help -Often, repetitive, numerous meetings. Including a once a month in person meeting at a location in your district that wont necessarily have any new info to give.
