Pros
- They hire you with no experience in the field and train you - They are pretty flexible when you want to take days off, usually only a week notice - You bond with colleagues because you all go through the same stress
Cons
- You work really long hours 9-10hs a day with no compensation. - There is a crazily high turnover: most PM’s stay no longer than 12 months - The structure of the company is designed in a way that project managers are always to blame if something goes wrong (if Sales gave you the wrong instructions, it’s your fault as a PM for not double checking) - You are always covering your back and compiling evidence (e-mails) so you can show it was not your fault when something goes wrong - Stress level can be extremely high, I got colleagues who used to go to the toilet and cry every now and then -
