Pros

Lots of guidance docs / forms and processes in place which make it fairly simple to be compliant.

Cons

The current management approach does little to motivate or reward strong performance. I often find myself addressing issues stemming from senior management decisions or inaction, rather than focusing on proactive work. Excessive bureaucracy and internal hurdles make it difficult to deliver effectively. As a result, there is limited scope for innovation or creativity, which is frustrating given my desire to contribute more. A senior manager advised that it is typically expected of coordinators to be in the role for at least a year or two before they would think about promoting. Regardless of skill set... So if you want a promotion sooner, it's seems the only option is to leave.

Pros

Great access to good clients, overall interested managing directors who are genuinely interested in growing the busines.

Cons

Success is heavily determined on middle management. If you are lucky, you will have a very vocal and interested manager who will continuously put you in positions what will allow new learning opportunities. Pay is not very competitive and once in, it is very tough to advocate for adequate compensation for the roles you take on as you progress.
