Best 5 Years of my Career - Senior Operations Manager Atlantic Employee Review

- flexible schedule - always room to grow; very encouraging to promoting within the company - management continues to push the team to being the best we can be individually and as a team - constantly creating new positions to help employees grow departments and bridge departments to become more seamless - very supportive into hiring employees straight out of college with zero experience - strong onboarding strategies - inclusive meetings to embrace several different perspectives to help see the bigger picture of projects, clients, workflows, etc.

The company overgrew a little quicker and caused some hardships and hurdles but we're learning the strength in the quality we can deliver with working as a smaller team. We're constantly learning to grow better as a team and adapting to changes.

Absolutely wonderful all-around individuals working there, loved everyone that I worked with and for. The nature of the work this company does is also incredibly fascinating, lots of very cool projects were worked on and completed during my time employed there. While no job is perfect, I am, overall, grateful for my time with Atlantic - I learned so much, grew tremendously in my skills and experience as a professional, and loved the people there, both as excellent co-workers and teammates and just as individuals in general.

Upper management style was not ideal - very misleading and\or withholding of information pertinent to the company's overall standing\well-being. There was an unsustainable and generally detrimental lack of communication between upper management and everyone else - this ultimately led to egregious miscommunications and misunderstandings (about everything: workforce capabilities, realistic budget proposals, technical workflows, etc.) between the different departments, the different members of middle management, the individuals of the technical\production team(s), etc. Everyone was (unknowingly) left to work with partial information - and often different pieces of partial information - that was inadequate to properly communicate and subsequently facilitate correct and efficient execution of tasks required to meet project specifications, deadlines, budgetary limitations, and so on. This led to so much unnecessary confusion at all levels, and the amount of time wasted trying to sort out said confusion and correcting\re-doing [often exquisite] work (that was only done incorrectly due to lack of clear instructions and\or understanding of a project's scope of work) was easily the majority of overall time spent on any and every project. The made for a very frustrating and stressful work environment and had it not been for the wonderful spirits, attitudes, and abilities of the individuals working there, this company would have a) gone under long ago and b) been a nightmare of a daily environment to work in.
