The environment here can feel very toxic. Regardless of the what impression is relayed to candidates during interviews, there is a very high turnover rate within the company due to weak pay/benefits, inexperienced/unprofessional management team, low advancement opportunities, and poor treatment of employees. When looking through job boards, you will see there are always openings at this company due to the company's inability to retain employees. Most of the people that make it into management are coincidentally related to the VP and seem to be the same group of people that land every promotion, nearly eliminating advancement opportunities for anyone else outside of this chosen group. As a Project Manager, you will find yourself working 60-70 hours a week to try and keep up with your workload. Part of this is due to a severe imbalance in terms of how work is assigned to Project Managers but the bulk of the time spent trying to keep up with workload is due to outdated systems that do not work - most of the work done is extremely manual and Excel based. This leads to errors, wasted time, and unreliable data. After spending your 60+ hours a week trying to keep up, you will then meet managers that pick apart the work done to compile monthly metrics that are highly unreasonable and unattainable. For the last few years, the company has been constantly 'restructuring' which had led to the same small group of employees repeatedly being promoted while all other overworked employees are either laid off or left in the same entry level positions and expected to pick up the slack. If you do make it to the interview process, be prepared for multiple interviews held by the chosen few in the company that will paint a misleading and inaccurately positive picture of this company and will only choose you to move forward if you already know someone within the company or are young, white, and willing to work endless extra hours for as little money as possible and without any complaints or push back.
