Pros

Nature of the work is always interesting, we're at the forefront of any crisis/news/business situation all the time Job benefits are not too bad Work life balance

Cons

Senior management seem blind to their subordinate's misdoings - not very qualified for the job HR support and as a feedback channel is not present in every country Learning and professional development is tough because managers care about themselves and how they appear in front of senior management
