Pros

Decent pay for a remote role. The people I work with are some of the most intelligent, hard working, and thoughtful people. There is no "bloat" on my team everyone is a contributor.

Cons

I feel like I don't fully understand this organization. I've been in my role for almost a year now And I struggle on a daily basis to fully understand how my contributions are actually making an impact for the greater team. When I joined, there was no on boarding process by my team. My first 4 months were spent with me just asking questions and connecting with colleagues and really just trying to make an effort to put basic pieces together. I still find myself asking what feel like very basic questions. I would say, most importantly, my boss is awful. By far the worst manager i've ever had, and i've had some pretty challenging folks. They are the most unqualified person to be a manager I have ever reported to. I have more credentials and industry knowledge in higher education than they do yet They constantly make decisions that go against any sort of logic or sound reasoning. They pivot constantly snd provide little if any guidance or support. I don't know that I will last here much longer.
