Great work experience but poor management

Senior associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You will get a lot of experience in the skills that employers want. If you are just starting your career (which many are here) you will interface with top executives in the company and those of your client organizations. The skills you will learn are great resume builders

Cons

Not enough people resources to get the job done right. You will be stressed out to the max with the insane amount of work that is expected to occur in a 40 hour work week. The caliber of the executive directors are hit or miss - mostly miss. You will see that individuals in manager or ED positions shouldn't necessarily be there based on their people or management skills.
