No work life balance-Toxic work culture

Project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very organized with a system in place applied mainly to all projects.

Cons

No work life balance with more than 10 hrs a day work expectations and some work on weekends. No flexibility with micromanagement to get things done with only your managers way. Generating more profit for company and higher managers' stock benefit cheque is the priority not employees' mental health and work-life balance.

Maintaining a healthy and supportive work environment is something we take seriously, and we understand the importance of flexibility for our employees’ well-being. We are continuously reviewing our processes and staffing levels to ensure that we not only meet our project goals but also maintain a sustainable work-life balance for our teams.
