So begins micromanagement

Pros

Decent hours. That's really it. Everything wise now sucks. I hate being micromanaged

Cons

Beancounters just hit us with super micromanagement. Gotta log hours to the minute. Can't pull up our systems ahead of time. Can't do this. Can't do that. They don't pay us enough for this job. Oh gotta be careful you don't get overtime. I was enjoying my job. Not anymore. Time to hunt for something new.

Pros

Great place to get experience. Lots of opportunity with local branches and pretty high overturn. They give you clear direction as how to advance and there are plenty of different directions you can go when moving up.

Cons

Compensation... Pay scale is incredibly hard to justify staying in the same position for more than a year or two which leads to a massive amount of overturn.

Pros

Relaxed work environment, make your own daily schedule, room for promotion, given all the tools to succeed (except labor), innovative

Cons

Expect you to be perfect in every area of a business, but don't staff branches sufficiently to support them. "flavor of the month" mentality with what's important.
