Pros
Most of the people are respectful, knowledgeable and enjoyable to work with.
Cons
Remote leaders leading larger on site teams creates confusion. Creates a “you do what I say” culture and a culture heavy (heaviest I’ve ever seen) in micromanagement. No trust in experts and team members leads to demotivation. Some executives still think Machiavellian leadership is popular and rudely bark orders from the safety of their at home offices - akin to internet trolls. Doesn’t work for a clinical laboratory setting AT ALL. Remote leaders gradually become out of touch with the reality of leading actual humans face to face. Unrealistic expectations with regards to overtime with many teams members having 20-30 hours PER WEEK of overtime during busy times. Incentives are given however time from the people that actually care about you can’t be bought back. Team is repeatedly asked to work overtime and due to unpredictable workload and shoddy forecasting, The schedule can change daily during peak business creating issues for those with obligations in their personal lives.
