Pros

Smaller company, cool Christmas party, good location

Cons

PM's are oldschool and egotistical, terrible training, unusual culture, favoritism, not open to new ideas, no structure, no opportunity for raises The APM role in general is very unorganized and not very challenging. You don't make any decisions day to day you simply are a glorified electronic filer. The culture in the salt lake office for an APM is very difficult. Very controlling and micromanaging trainers, fellow members are not very interactive with you or helpful, and there is no positive feedback regarding anything. As an APM you are not allowed flexibility even though others are. If you have concerns regarding things the people here do not have your back for they are all very set in their ways. I would not recommend this particular role at this company to anyone. The company as a whole is not bad and has potential to be better but the APM role is not good. There is no room for growth, you are expected to 'shadow' for a year, and there is no analytical or intellectual aspects to the job.

Pros

* Your coworkers are likely into their job. * Project Managers care a lot and your voice will be heard about the work going on. * You definitely have job security. * Insane amount of experience and quick it might be in the zone of your field that you wanted but you will get a ton of experience. (Might end up being site installation supervisor as a controls engineer)

Cons

* People do not believe in work life balance at DG the project matters more than you when you are in the thick of it. * They are definitely under staffed for the work they have going on and you will be required to work more because of it. * You will work a crazy amount of overtime with no overtime pay. I had to work over 70 hour weeks frequently for the same pay. * They will say the bonuses add up for the overtime... this is a lie especially as a beginner the bonus looks like another check if it is good. Not worth it when you basically worked double work weeks for most of the year.
