What is it like working as a Director of Operations?
June 2016
Director of Operations.
Director of Operations:
Please know the value of your work as good operations people are very talented however the department of operations is underpaid in this industry compared to executives/finance/accounting and marketing.
Daily responsiblities consist of a wealth of knowledge in logistics/accounting/finance/production and even executive task which allow for rapid growth of knowledge.
Accurate multitasking and excellent communication is crucial to being successful at this role.
Best way to excel is to educate yourself on each department and try to find the best ways of making the operations sector of the company run smoother.

Helping Business Run Itself.
Director of Operations:
Pros: Working with so many different personalities really opens up new social experiences. These new experiences help me become a better problem solver and improves my ability to manage people. Freedom to write my own schedule provides me with better home life management.
Cons: The more issues to deal with the more work needs to be done. Even though I write my own schedule, I will schedule myself heavy in the areas of concern to bring business back to performing on par. Stress is directly connected to how much cooperation I have with my managers. Hiring good people and getting good training can be difficult if managers have lower standards than I.
