Remote work terrible leaders & systems - Avis employé Junior Project Manager Landmark Structures

Great place to work, everyone is willing to help

Working from home gets challenging with the workload given but gives you a chance to work through hours on your own time

Remote work. Good people work here; it's the leadership that's the issue. Pay is excellent and so are the benefits. That is what keeps you here longer than you would normally at any other company with the issues they have.

Senior leadership has created a stronghold to funnel all decisions through them, and this creates a huge bottleneck. Subcontracts, change orders, even the most mundane of owner communications and decisions need to be at the ear of senior leadership before anything moves forward. This micromanagement and removal of decision making for a project manager is cloaked as collaboration. Meetings on meetings due to this controlling approach of decision making. Meetings that leadership themselves bail out of prolonging any resolution for you to do your job. Being that all communication and decisions need to go through one person on the management side, senior leadership is cherry picked not based on merit or performance, but rather loyalty to this senior leader. Truly toxic environment if you want to make positive changes in processes. The "Landmark Way" is a slogan used to adhere to old processes and tribal knowledge as law. Being a niche industry with not many contractor rivals in this business, they believe they need to change nothing to be successful and that's a bad approach. No SOPs have been created, and everyone is trained differently, yet the same outcome is expected.
