Pros

Cons
1. The department head is prone to emotional outbursts, and if she has a negative opinion of you, she may unjustly blame you for any issues that arise. This can even lead to the department head changing her position in order to assign blame to you. 2. Despite the abundance of ad-hoc tasks, the department head may fail to recognize your contributions. Instead, she may assume that you have nothing to do and request that your managers assign more tasks to you. 3. The department head has a tendency to blame others for problems, and may even create imaginary issues in meetings in order to assign blame. Interfering with this behavior may cause her to become angry. 4. Meetings frequently run late, and a one-hour meeting may extend to three hours. One contributing factor to this issue is outlined in point three. 5. The department head is generally not well-liked by external parties such as internal clients, vendors, and other departments, which means that requests from your department often receive low priority. 6. Despite being a technical department, the department head may display favoritism towards non-technical team members when it comes to promotions and career development.
