Pros
The pay is good. Some of the benefits are great, including the free Peloton membership. Working remote 100% is nice but a con as well. See below. Overall the bad outweighs the good and this position is basically a glorified babysitting job.
Cons
It's a hit or miss on direct reports. Most direct reports are just doing it for the paycheck and it's really hard to get them focused on their metrics because it is a metric based system. There are TOO many process changes. You can't keep up. I feel for my team. I understand they are burnt out because of all the changes, as am I. I understand change is needed for growth but this is just too much. There are no holiday bonuses. Direct reports receive bonuses if they go above and beyond for their metrics but as supervisors pushing them to do their best, we don't get a bonus if they are meeting the above requirements. Working remote is nice however, you don't get the face to face with your direct reports or leaders. Does not help to make a genuine connection or working relationship. While I have succeed with my own team, others may face difficulty. Leaders do not accept their mistakes. A leader wanted me to threaten a direct report that what she was doing was falsifying a record during off hours. I confirmed my leaders time zone was incorrect and my emyployee was in fact documenting during her working hours. She could have potentially ruined my relationship with that employee and broken all trust. When I pointed this out to my leader she did not accept it as her mistake and did not apologize.
