Pros

As a project manager it started out fairly well.A lot of clients. A few really talented people. Not afraid to spend money.

Cons

Where do I start. A lot of finger-pointing. When the cat is away.... Redundancy forced corner cutting. Unrealistic project timelines. The company had just implemented a company wide CRM system that is very slow. I averaged 200 mouse clicks per day with an average wait time of 10 seconds per click. That is over 30 minutes per day or 12% of my workday. The health benefits favor young single males, not family's so I did not accept their insurance. They are stretched thin across the board and most projects required outsourcing installation technicians, which required supervision. The internal cost estimates for each project are seriously understated as they assume resources are available and they are not. The office that I was in did not follow the company processes and misrepresented services to clients on a regular basis. Did I mention NO RESOURCES?

Pros

The company has a great attitude and a lot of knowledgeable staff. It may be a corporation, but at the branch level, it feels more mom and pop shop like. I've worked for a lot of different companies from corporate to mom and pop. This has been one of the best companies I've ever worked for.

Cons

I worked for the D&B Team and it is a lot of travel. If you aren't willing to work 60+ hour weeks, it's not the job for you. That said, my position was specific to D&B. Outside of that company, they primarily hire local FE's which only service jobs somewhat nearby the office. Also note, they do their best to ensure you are always home on the weekends. On a 3 week remote job, they still fly you home Friday and fly you back there Monday.
