Good pay for the amount of work and good people. Typically, the individuals you work with directly are competent, willing to collaborate, and helpful. There’s plenty in place to help you continue your education/development, and I have seen them rise to the occasion when employees go through hard times.

It doesn’t matter what you want to do because directorship can put you where it’s most convenient. They try to make sure everyone feels good about their work and their position. They may even mean it, but they will only let it apply insofar as it goes along with their plan/convenience. When people do get what they want, it typically also has this monkey’s paw type catch as well.

Subordinates like to be heard, not assuaged. I don’t want to feel like if I have anxieties that I shouldn’t have them; I want to feel understood and recognized. I want to feel like you’re capable of empathy.
