The unlimited vacation policy sounds appealing, but taking time off often leads to disapproval from management. The healthcare options are costly, and your day is consumed by meetings, leaving little time to focus on the work you’re actually evaluated on. As a project manager, you may find yourself functioning more as a secretary for the project owner. While you might receive positive feedback throughout the year, performance reviews can take a harsh turn, highlighting your shortcomings without offering a chance for improvement. This could result in being placed on a performance improvement plan or facing termination, with no opportunity for a salary increase.
