Pros

Location flexibility. I was working a senior position with a company that encouraged work from home with minimal office visits. Any office visits were for pertinent meetings that required attendance. I wanted to maintain this workstyle and Suffolk offered it. Salary is fair for my position, negotiation was thoughtful and productive. I am pleased with the generous benefits offered. My coworkers are amazing! I am fortunate that I previously worked with many of them at other construction firms. It feel like home here.

Cons

I previously worked for a competitor of Suffolk whose Oracle system, though similar, provided much more robust reporting. Currently the reporting and AIA invoices I need to generate are excel based and requires a great time commitment to produce. Improving Oracle would offer time savings and the ability of people to take on more projects. The change management process can use improvement. The projects I work on require a manual excel sheet to track CE budget and owner changes for each cost code that rolls into the manually generated AIA. Staff titles can be more robust. My prior titles were Cost Manager, Senior Project Controller, Project Financial Manager. Though the requirements of these positions were similar to the Project Controller, I would think that after someone's many years of experience, an appropriate title is necessary other than a general one. Benefits - Though my student loans were paid off many years ago, I am paying parent loans for my children. I know Suffolk offers help to staff with student loans. Perhaps expanding to those of us with parent loans can be considered?
