Avantages
casual workplace. people are nice usually, even though working conditions are deplorable and and morale is really low. in production, people work 12+ days, several days a week. while this was a really awful job, having pleasant co-workers made it marginally more tolerable.
Inconvénients
working in production was definitely like working in a white-collar sweatshop. there is no such thing as work-life balance. the job itself isn't hard but the workload is unwieldy and management rarely steps in to help someone struggling to complete their days work or show any interest in letting someone go home on time. if you seem to be working at a comfortable pace without being overwhelmed, a second later you will be handed more work that day and will end up staying in the office until 8/9 p.m. what was really miserable to witness was how trainers acted towards new PMs. during training period, which lasts 3 months on average, the more experienced project managers tend to be condescending to newer folks and strict and overbearing. i don't think new people (recent college grads especially) should be publicly shamed for missing commas or replying to emails incorrectly. scores of PMs quit in 6 months to a year and go on to be really happy elsewhere. outside of the office social events are just really boozey. pretty off-putting.
