    Canada Compensation

    an 

    Executive Producer

    I know my industry is under compensated compared to many of you in finance and tech. But - what would you expect a director-level manager - leading a team of 2 managers and their team + keeping tabs on a Rolodex of 15-20 freelancers? Team is responsible for managing and executing on 8-16 projects at any given point of time. Proven track record of growing business, improving process, and executing damn good work... ? City of Toronto. 11 years experience in career, 6 years specific to this dept.

      Good pay, No direction, disposable

      Jun 11, 2021 - Management Consultant in Toronto, ON
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay for work; you can pursue your own work

      Cons

      No direction; no accountability from management; no useful governance; management lets you do your own thing until you mess up then they don't renew your contract. Keep your resume updated and don't assume your contract will be rolled over - not a certainty no matter what they tell you.

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits, relative to Toronto averages Lots of career options within the organization (though not as many traditional policy roles) Can be rewarding

      Cons

      Typical big bureaucracy problems Not where to be if you want to grow professionally (as opposed to materially) Awful internal politics Don't always have the tools (or the management) to do your job Lots of free-riders Can be on temporary contracts forever
