Pros

Same level co-workers were awesome.

Cons

No consistency in HR policies, varied from manager to manager. So if you were switched to a different manager you would get written up for things that your previous manager thought was acceptable. I should have gone to HR (as my colleagues urged me to do) while I was being bullied for I was being asked to do things that were not TW policy nor expected by any of my other colleagues. Certain managers were wonderful, a few honestly shouldn't ever be put in a manager position. No employee should be reduced to tears because of the hostility of their manager, then be forced to quit because of her. Completely overloaded the PMs and have a huge high turnover in admin because of no training/support, Accountants are forced/bullied at the first of each month to make sure the TW invoices are paid immediately so TW gets their money over making sure that your financials are done for the owners in time and are 100% correct. You would get in trouble for helping people because "it's not your job" however when you see colleagues struggling because they have a heavy workload as well is not being given the proper training, and you have the time - why the heck not? MINIMAL support from managers when a problem arises, only to take the other side. Then when you prove to them you were 100% correct, they shrug it off and you look like a scapegoat. Ridiculous meetings should never happen from the 1st to the 15th when everyone is under pressure to get reports out.

Wow, we sure missed the boat in your case. You are right, different managers have different expectations, and circumstances/clients/issues/team members are not the same. We are a better company because of your comments, and we will continue to strive to improve.
