Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility with WFH. Work hours that suit you. Great Co-Workers/ Teammates.

Cons

Local Management have their heads in the sand. A lot of corporate box ticking exercises are completed but at the end of the day management don't listen/care about the staff's opinion. Local management in some areas are not qualified themselves and lack people/communication skills. Local management are only concerned about their own careers and not the careers of their staff. Flat organization with very little progression.
