Let's see...
- I get paid well
- I enjoy my work
- I don't have to work long hours so long as I meet my deliverables, sure I do work OT sometimes, a little or a lot, but that's not uncommon everywhere
- I have time off when I need it and/or want it
- I can work from home when I need/want to
- I like the people I work with
- when I grew out of my old role they helped me find a new one that I could grow in and I enjoy
- they've paid for certifications and course in the past and continue to do so
Just a few reasons. |

At the risk of getting flamed myself, you do have some valid points that are underappreciated by posters.
For the majority of TBA "plan mgmt" associates, they are allowed wide latitude regarding what their hours will be for a particular day and in some cases whether they are at home or on campus. Who does not get at least one email a day about someone on their team leaving at 3 or coming in late because of doctor, dentist, car, etc. appointment? How many of you have done this yourself? Did you call your manager at home the night before to get permission? I didn't think so.
Let me be clear, I am not talking about CSAs who have to perform a miracle and give a pound of flesh to get time off approved.
As for Bitter, I hope you continued to receive those opportunities to grow, but I one small piece of advice. Pay attention who your manager is connected and talking to. If they are not talking you up to the right people, then you could hit a major roadblocks in the future. If you don't believe me, just watch some of the future careers of associates (rightly or wrongly) who seemed to get promotion after promotioin because X leader knew them. There are going to be some associates whose ability to get any client or project they want suddenly stuck with a crummy project with no way out. Yes it is politics, but it happens every where and associates kid themselves if they don't realize there is more to getting ahead then doing a good job.
