Current Employee – been working at Con-way as a contractor for less than a year

Pros – I have great space to work and enjoy having other Project Managers nearby to bounce ideas off of. In addition, I'm managing new types of technology implementations, get free parking, and have the flexibility I need for my family obligations.

Cons – With the exception of a few different types of positions, IT infrastructure has been outsourced to a few different large companies. This makes it much more complex to manage a project with any degree of agility.
