      Pros

      Nice people Huge budgets - lots of money thrown at Media Huge salaries Ability to outsource responsibilities to Media agencies Slow pace Minimal year over year change

      Cons

      No Focus - lack of connection between strategy and execution Absent Leadership Lack of Accountability - check the box mentality versus performance management and delivery of results Lack of Targets and Measurement of tangible KPIs Lack of Transparency - no single source of truth and no clarity behind how things performance and how they are measured Uses "Legal" as an excuse to stick with status quo

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

      Cons

      Unstable schedule where you are often asked to come in overnight (1-2 am) regardless of if you have worked the previous day or are off. Basically feels like you're permanently on-call to conduct environmental monitoring. Training is slow. The Micro dept in general is currently understaffed. The job also involves lab work once you are done with your daily environmental monitoring tasks. The work never ceases and the Technicians as a whole has several responsibilities. Promotions seem to come very slowly here.
