Currently, you can break PMCs down into 3 categories:1) Small mom & pop PMCs: Pros - one call for everything, very hands-onCons - usually very unorganized, which leads to mistakes, if they are sick you have no one to get ahold of2) Medium sized PMCsPros - organized, several backup points of contact, overall better serviceCons - things may take longer as more hands involved, stricter procedures can be frustrating3) Large PMCsPros - more data analysis for better service, more predictable servicesCons - even more hands involved, unique challenges often ignored (no process to handle them)Red flags:- Short agreement that leaves a lot open to interpretation, which usually means to their benefit- Not a lot of details shared about HOW they will execute their services, so no accountability- Tell you not to worry and trust them, when they haven't earned your trust yet- Don't have a website or owner portal- Aren't properly licensedYour biggest challenge will be screening to find a good one!
