ALLTEL – “It was OK while it lasted”

Pros

there was a lot of projects, a lot of work. Some managers were better than others.

Cons

The entire time i was there those who were in charge of projects conducted them all incorrectly. They would come to our department after the project was already started and tell us - you have to get this done on this day. They never came to us prior so that we could plan, organize, and speka up to let them know that their project dates were not realistic. This happen over and over. The result was that our deparmtnet had to drop everythign and spend much more money to get our tasks completed on time. There are better ways to run projects. Oh, and another thing is this cimpany was based on the Old boys network and they stuck to that for many many years. Finally the last several years that old mentality had changed.

Advice to Senior Management
