Pros
The offsite office I worked in was great. Management was excellent and there was a very strong cohesiveness among the employees. Lots of on the job training, great environment, lots of networking opportunities.
Cons
Many day to day tasks have to be done through the corporate offices. That being the case, everything takes a very, very long time to accomplish. There is a lot of repetition of tasks. Want to be reimbursed for something the business needed that you had to pay for out of your own pocket? Could take (and has taken) nearly a month when you shouldn't have had to pay for it in the first place. Want to hire a high school kid to work at the snack bar for the summer? Hope you've got 5 weeks to spare for that process. Dealing with Board members can be tricky, and there is no overtime or comp time and working late night meetings can be brutal. Also, you had better hope your starting salary was comfortable for you in the long run, because no matter how long you're employed don't expect a real raise or a bonus. 3% has become the national average, 1% is the average at CMC, and there are no bonuses allowed.
