Director of Operations Reviews
What is it like working as a Director of Operations?
June 2015
Non-Stop.
Director of Operations:
Plan on having email on your phone. You will need to know everything that goes on and how to respond when it does not go as planned. You may not want to move into this position if you have small children as you will be busy on nights and weekends.
Excel by mastering communication skills and developing checklists which will allow you to manage the staff you are responsible for on a non-emotional level. Yes or no? Done or not?

Day to day operations responsible.
Director of Operations:
Pros: Challenging to meet all levels of QSC, profit plan, and build all levels of people to achieve.
Cons: Long hours, high level of stress on type of business. Threats of minimum wage, unions, health insurance....all stretch gross profit margins.
February 2015
Choose your master's wisely.
Director of Operations:
It's a lot of money and it's not immediately helpful to find a job. Best bet is to pursue one thoru work.
January 2015
Problems good ... Simple bad :)
Director of Operations:
Pros: Constant new problems need solving. Very rarely do I get trapped in doing the same thing every day, but that also means all of those different things tend to become a responsibility for maintenance of any projects or programs that are put in place.
Cons: The mundane. If anyone else can solve the problem with a little effort I would prefer to avoid the situation, but in a management role at a small company there are a wide array of small simple problems that will not get solved if you don't bite the bullet and solve them.
