Pros
-life-saving devices -great relationship with Sales Reps and between departments
Cons
-systems are extremely archaic -unable to automate invoicing/collections/reporting -don't complain to HR about anything negative you've experienced: it will be turned against you and you'll be the bad guy. -if you're effective, you'll be given too much to do in not enough time -don't expect any of management to defend you- you'll be thrown under the bus for any shortcomings -don't expect management to help you or listen to your concerns, they don't care about your red flags, and don't care about helping at all, but also don't have any solutions. This is all the way from your supervisor to VP. They're focused so much on the little things that they can't see the big problems coming down the road, even if you tell them exactly what it is. They'll bend over a dollar to pick up a dime, so don't expect anything more than that. -don't expect any internal promotions- you're stuck where you are hired.
