Pros
Access to good mentors. Paid weekly.
Cons
Most managers are subpar at best. They don’t understand leadership. Remnants of the prior “good ole boys” club. Outdated thinking. People hear what they want to hear. Feedback culture is the maturity of a 6th grader. Lots of personal and authority bias. People very much do not care about the work they do. Ethical behavior is non-existent half the time. People lack patience. No real desire to process improve. No real understanding of servant leadership among most managers and above, Highly, highly nepotistic. Actual progress and results not celebrated. Most people drink the kool-aid. Hiring decisions can be atrocious. Retainment of some people is a serious mistake. Lots of really bad attitudes. Senior leaders really have no clue what’s going on with their front line workers. Same is true with the L5s. Team leads can be conniving and create narratives and the L5s tend to be too dull to see that. Lots of people ‘playing games’ and most L5s and L6s don’t have the guts to stand up to that behavior. Lots of blame game. Lots of “not my job”. Lots of people settle for less. No real pioneering aspect in the culture.
