Pros
- working with a collaborative and supportive team in the BCIT department, fostering a sense of camaraderie among peers. -Gained experience in PMO methodologies, portfolio management, and project tracking, enhancing my professional skill set. -Opportunity to work on impactful projects, contributing to organisational objectives and process improvement. -Attractive pay package and benefits, which initially made the role appealing
Cons
-High management turnover, with four managers in the first four months and an additional three managers during the remaining tenure, leading to instability and lack of consistent leadership. -Bullying and workplace harassment issues were not adequately addressed; complaints were dismissed, and victims were unfairly targeted for speaking out. -Unrealistic targets and pressures imposed by senior leadership created a toxic and demoralising work environment. -Confidential medical information was inappropriately used, further undermining confidence and well-being. -Hierarchical issues within the organisation fostered poor management practices and a lack of genuine support for employees. -Despite an attractive pay package, the toxic workplace culture overshadowed any financial benefits. -Continuous reports from former colleagues indicate that the challenging working conditions persist, highlighting ongoing systemic issues within leadership and management.
