Good atmosphere, lots of work.

Work/life balance.
Information Technology (IT) Manager:
Make sure you maintain a good work/life balance. I changed my style of working only after I had a child (10 years into my role) and the work still gets done. Some things can simply wait. Family is always more important than work!

August 2015
Great if you get the right one.
Information Technology (IT) Manager:
Pros: I love having flexibility to do my own thing and make decisions. I get challenged everyday and researching new technologies and implementing them is amazing and fun.
Cons: You really need to make sure that when you start as an IT manager with a company that has no prior IT personnel, that you lay down the ground rules out of the gate, that you have specific networking tasks that you need to follow. If you go doing extra stuff that has nothing to do with your degree, then you will not have enough time to do what you are supposed to do. Networking and security is you first priority, don't lose sight of that. You are more than just "the IT guy" that someone can call upon when they have a stupid question about Google earth or excel.
August 2015
Good leaders can follow too.
Information Technology (IT) Manager:
Seek to understand and solve important problems. Remain visible.
