Pros

A few good planners left that actually know how to do their job... if you are lucky enough to work with one.

Cons

Stressful, overworked, underpaid, short staffed, you will do the job of the planner sometimes several planners as many have no clue on how to process things and this is enabled by management. Constant system issues. Lacking communication. Confused leadership. Management favors Planners and will do nothing about ongoing issues to correct behaviors that should never occur in the workplace. Work life balance is not a real option in this position as there is no flex schedule that other employers offer.

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
